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 />
