Fifth graders can access more than 90 days of skiing and riding at participating alpine and cross- country ski areas for a $35 administration fee.
VermontBiz Ski Vermont has launched its popular Fifth Grade Passport for the 2024-25 season. The program provides any fifth grader, regardless of state or country of residence, access to 90 days of skiing at ski areas across Vermont
“The Passport program gets kids outside to experience skiing and snowboarding. It’s a chance to learn and enjoy what can become healthy, lifelong activities,” says Ski Vermont President Molly Mahar. “Data show that the earlier a child starts skiing, the more apt they are to continue throughout their lifetime and benefit from the physical and mental health benefits that go along with that. The Passport Program is an opportunity for kids to foster a connection with the outdoors at ski areas across Vermont.”
Fifth graders can access more than 90 days of skiing via the Passport program, with three vouchers to each of the 20 participating alpine ski areas, and up to three vouchers to the 24 participating cross-country areas—for a $35 administrative fee. The program is open to any current fifth grade student, regardless of state or country of residence. Some holiday restrictions apply, and students must be accompanied by an adult with a valid lift ticket, season pass or trail pass.
“The Passport is a great opportunity for young skiers and snowboarders to explore ski areas they may not have experienced yet and spend more time outside with family and friends,” added Mahar.
