This Family Day Show Your Kids Just How Fun Winter Can Be with the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass

Family Day is Monday, February 15th in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and was on February 8th in British Columbia. Why not spend this Family Day together as it’s intended, as a family? Take the kids skiing or snowboarding this long weekend and spend some time enjoying the outdoors while learning a new sport. Skiing and snowboarding are great activities to do as a family and they provide a great opportunity to create family traditions and memories! Open doors to new adventures for future holidays and register your child for a Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass.

The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is a program that provides students in grade four or five with the chance to ski three times each at over 150 participating resorts all over Canada. It is open to winter enthusiasts of any caliber, especially beginners! It costs a mere $29.95 and is valid for two years if the child is in grade four (and one year if the child is in grade five). All you need to do to apply is go online to www.snowpass.ca , upload your photo, proof of age and make your payment and the SnowPass will be mailed directly to you, along with a temporary SnowPass that you can begin using right away. With over 150 ski areas participating, you are bound to find a ski area close to home.

Winter sports are important to Canadians and what better way to pass the winter months than to find a sport you can do all together. Being a part of a sport can aid in the development of a child's confidence, lead to new opportunities for their future, and is also a great way to keep them active, healthy and happy. Skiing and snowboarding also provide an opportunity for children to make new friends with similar interests. The exhilaration they will feel as they conquer a run they didn't think they could do or improving their technique is like no other!

The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is a national program and is valid at over 150 ski areas across Canada, including 31 ski areas in British Columbia, 21 in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan, 2 in Manitoba, 30 in Ontario, 57 in Quebec, 8 in Atlantic Canada, and 1 in the Yukon.
