From the Canadian Ski Council – Purchase a SnowPass for your 4th or 5th grader and let them be active all winter long

What’s better than giving you child this season’s hottest video game? How about giving them the chance to be a part of this season’s hottest sport! When you purchase a SnowPass for your 4th or 5th grader they can get up to three free lift ticket coupons at each of the participating ski/snowboard areas. With hundreds of chances to ski/ride for Free, this is one gift that will keep on giving!

Applying for a SnowPass is easy and is open to any child in grade 4 or 5 (or who was born in 1998-1999). With over 140 different participating ski/snowboard areas – 88 in the East (Ontario to Newfoundland) and 56 in the West (Manitoba to B.C) – everyone can take advantage of this amazing deal. And new this year, now you can apply for a Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass online! No more mailing in the application form, proof of age/grade or administration fee. Visit www.snowpass.ca for more details.

Depending on where you live in Canada, each student who applies will receive either an Eastern or Western SnowPass Booklet. Your child’s grade 4 and 5 SnowPass Booklet includes up to three ski-free coupons for each ski/snowboard area and is their personal ticket to winter fun. And if you think that’s great, your child also gets coupons for great deals on lessons and rentals at more than 30 ski/snowboard areas! Some participating areas even offer a bonus grade 6 coupon that can be used next season – just another way that this program keeps on getting better!

So this holiday season, give your child a chance to stay active all winter long. Tell them to put down the video games and hit the slopes. With discounts on lessons and equipment rentals, soon your child will be the pro!
