Pick up a Grade 4 or 5 SnowPass in Canada and show your kids what skiing in winter is really about
Winter is finally here and it’s time to hit the slopes and participate in this season’s hottest sports. Skiing and Snowboarding are two of Canada’s most popular winter activities and on top of being easy to learn they are excellent ways to keep your children healthy and active.
With the feeling of fresh snow in the air it’s the perfect time to bundle up the kids and head for the hills. But before you go, pick up a SnowPass for your 4th or 5th grader. The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass program gives your child the chance to ski or snowboard all season long. Each pass contains up to three free lift ticket coupons at each of the participating ski/snowboard areas plus fantastic deals on rentals and lessons. All for the low price of $16 (admin fees only, you have hundreds of chances to save this season!)
Applying is easy and open to any child in grade 4 and 5 (or who was born in 1999-2000). Just visit us online at www.snowpass.ca, upload your child’s picture, enter your payment and their proof of age, and a SnowPass will be sent straight to your door. Depending on where you live in Canada, each applicant will receive either an Eastern or Western SnowPass Booklet. With over 150 different participating ski/snowboard areas across Canada – 97 in the East (Ontario to Newfoundland) and 58 in the West (Manitoba to B.C) – everyone has the chance to get in on the deal!
Every Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass Booklet comes with up to three ski-free coupons for each ski/snowboard area and has everything you need to get in on the winter fun! On top of all that, your child also gets coupons for great deals on lessons and rentals at more than 30 ski/snowboard areas.And that’s not all; some coupons can even be used next year. That means if your child is in grade 4 this year they can use their coupons next year in grade 5. And grade 5 students this year are given some coupons that can be used next year in grade 6. So this is the perfect time to get them out there and hooked!
Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass information and applications are available online at www.snowpass.ca or www.passeportdesneiges.ca.
