A PASSPORT TO WINTER FUN:<br />
FIFTH GRADERS SKI FREE IN VT<br />
Imagine receiving a passport that allowed you to ski and snowboard at <strong>Vermont</strong> resorts<br />
over 80 times in one season! Who wouldn’t love that? Fifth graders can ski or ride free<br />
all season in <strong>Vermont</strong> with the <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Vermont</strong> Fifth Grade Passport program.<br />
NEED A LIFT?<br />
You don’t have to leave winter<br />
in <strong>Vermont</strong> behind when you<br />
head home. Before your memory<br />
melts away, scoop up the latest<br />
and greatest <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Vermont</strong> poster<br />
to adorn your wall. Grab the one<br />
that speaks best to your day on<br />
snow, or make the entire collection<br />
yours. We’ve got you covered at<br />
<strong>Ski</strong><strong>Vermont</strong>.com/store, where<br />
you’ll find pricing details and how<br />
to place your order.<br />
Parents or friends of fifth graders can simply sign up online at skivermont.com/FGP<br />
to receive a passport in the mail. A passport containing three tickets to each alpine<br />
resort and one or three tickets to each Nordic resort in <strong>Vermont</strong> will be mailed to<br />
eligible recipients for the low processing fee of $10. Proof of age is required.<br />
Speaking of age, there is no better time to get a child involved with a winter sport than<br />
in those grade-school years. Research shows that introducing preteens to lifelong sports<br />
can help them develop healthier habits in life. The fifth grade passport helps children<br />
embrace a winter sport by getting them started on <strong>Vermont</strong>’s slopes with free lift<br />
tickets. For kids new to the sport, <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Vermont</strong> recommends scheduling a professional<br />
lesson with the money saved, so your fifth grader has the best experience possible.<br />

The passport can also be used as an incentive to pack up the family and start fresh<br />
traditions at new-to-you resorts in <strong>Vermont</strong>. Take it from one of our 2014–15 passport<br />
holders: “The program is fantastic. It definitely motivated our family to get out on<br />
the slopes more than we would have otherwise. Getting out there this season with my<br />
11-year-old son reignited my love of skiing and will certainly motivate us to ski/ride just<br />
as much next season.”<br />
