Are your kids getting the most out of winter? Pick up a Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass for your childand show them just how fun winter sports can be!

Winter is in full swing and Canadians everywhere are knee-deep in snow and loving it.  Most of the country has been gifted with a generous helping of snow, and skiers and snowboarders know that this is the best time to hit the hills and have the ride of your life. Are your kids missing out on the fun? Well, it's never too late to get them started. Pick up a SnowPass for your 4th or 5th grader and get them outside and active this winter.

Whether your child has never skied or snowboarded before or has hit the slopes many times, we've got you covered. Eighteen years ago, the Canadian Ski Council started the SnowPass program, specifically designed to make it easy and affordable for any child to try skiing or snowboarding. Every SnowPass includes three lift passes to use at each of the 150+ ski areas across Canada, including 31 ski areas in British Columbia, 20 in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan, 2 in Manitoba, 32 in Ontario, 57 in Quebec, 8 in Atlantic Canada, and 1 in the Yukon. So no matter where you live in Canada, everyone can take advantage of this fantastic offer. To see a full list of participating ski areas, please visit:www.snowpass.ca.

Registering your child for a SnowPass is easy and any child in grade 4 or 5 is eligible (or those born in 2004 or 2005). Just visit www.snowpass.ca, upload your child's picture and proof of age, enter your method of payment, and presto - your child's personalized SnowPass will be mailed directly to your home within days.
