CANADA – The Canadian Ski Council (CSC) is bringing the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass back for another season.

The program is back for its 20th season, offering children in grades four and five or born in 2006 or 2007, a chance to get outside more throughout the winter season at a very low cost.

Each child can get three lift passes to all 158 ski areas in the country – which works out to 470 lift passes in total – for $29.95. Children who get the pass while they are in grade four can use it for two years.

The pass covers the 24 ski areas in Alberta, 31 in B.C, one in Saskatchewan, three in Manitoba, 31 in Ontario, 59 in Quebec, eight in Atlantic Canada and one in the Yukon.
