One of the best things about being a fifth-grader in Colorado is the Fifth Grade Ski Passport. It has always been the best deal in Colorado, offering three free days at every one of Colorado’s ski resorts. The passport is offered by Colorado Ski Country USA, the trade umbrella for Colorado’s resorts. But last season, Vail Resorts pulled out of the Ski Country association, and the passports no longer offered free days at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin.
Many parents were sad that their kids couldn’t experience the thrills of Breck’s Peak 9 or the vast backcountry of Vail.
They can rejoice – Vail Resorts has created a program called School of Shred. Colorado fifth and sixth graders can get four free days of skiing or snowboarding at each of the company’s four resorts. For more information, go to Vail’s pass web site.
Ski Country still offers its passports that give fifth graders three free days at their 21 member resorts. For $99, sixth graders get four free days at each of the resorts. For more information about the passport, go to Colorado Ski Country’s site.
