Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) announced today the return of last year’s successful First Class lesson as part of the launch of its popular 5th and 6th Grade Passport programs for the 2011-12 ski season. Registration is now open for the Passports, so click here to get on board. We used it last year, and if you have a fifth or sixth grader there’s really no reason whatsoever not to sign up.
The Passport Programs introduce fifth and sixth grade kids to skiing and snowboarding by giving them free and discounted access to Colorado’s legendary resorts. And don’t forget about CSCUSA’s $10 Gems Card for discounts at member resorts. Click here for more info about the Gems Card.
The CSCUSA 5th Grade Passport is available to all fifth graders and provides three days of free skiing at each of the 21 CSCUSA participating member resorts. The 6th Grade Passport gives sixth graders four days of skiing at the same participating CSCUSA resorts for $99, equaling 84 ski days for less than $1.20 a day.
To complement the 5th Grade Passport, CSCUSA will again offer the First Class lesson program. Registered 5th Grade Passport holders who are considered “never-evers” will be eligible to receive a voucher for one free ski or snowboard lesson, including rental equipment, anytime during January Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month.
Parents can choose from among 18 participating CSCUSA member resorts where their fifth grader can have their introductory experience on snow. Advanced reservations are required for First Class.
“Colorado is already known for having many diverse resorts, acres of varying terrain and snowy consistent conditions,” said Melanie Mills, president and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. “And with the Colorado Ski Country Passports and First Class we are making sure every fifth and sixth grade kid in Colorado has the opportunity to experience those resorts, ski on the terrain, enjoy the many powder days and ultimately become ski and snowboard ambassadors of Colorado.”
Registration for the Passport Programs can be fully processed online at www.ColoradoSki.com/Passport, where you can also find details on First Class lessons. The CSCUSA Passport Programs are sponsored by Chipotle with program partners Sports Authority and Credit Union of Colorado.
