Looking for a Fun Way to Spend Family Day? Hit the Hills With The Help of a SnowPass

Family Day is quickly approaching and what better way to spend the long weekend than with your family outdoors and on the slopes?

Whether this is your child's first time on the slopes, or they are seasoned snow adventurers, the Canadian Ski Council has a way to help you save money before you hit the slopes: the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass program.

Now in its 19th year, the SnowPass program provides children in Grades 4 & 5 (born in 2005 and 2006) with three lift tickets to each of our participating areas! With over 150 participating locations, that's a lot of skiing and snowboarding. A bonus of the pass: if you apply for the program while your child is in grade 4, the pass is valid for two years, meaning they'll still have the opportunity to use the pass while they are in grade 5. The best part? The pass only costs $29.95.

Registering for your child's SnowPass is easy! Just head to www.snowpass.ca, fill out the application form, add a photo, proof of age, enter a payment, and voila, you will receive a temporary SnowPass that you can begin using immediately! Your actual SnowPass will be sent to you in the mail.

The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is a national program and is valid at over 150 ski areas across Canada, including 31 ski areas in British Columbia, 21 in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan, 2 in Manitoba, 30 in Ontario, 57 in Quebec, 8 in Atlantic Canada, and 1 in the Yukon. So no matter where you live, everyone can take advantage of this fantastic offer. To see a full list of participating ski areas, please visit: www.snowpass.ca.

Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass information and applications are available online at www.snowpass.ca or www.passeportdesneiges.ca. Sign up today so you have the SnowPass in time for Family Day.
