Ski Utah’s Fifth and Sixth Grade Passport and Yeti: Pass Explore all Utah’s 14 Resorts during the 2012-13 Season

October 28, 2012


SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – The first major snowfall of the 2012-13 season is headed to Utah this week. Don’t let your fifth and sixth graders get stuck inside this winter when they could be exploring all 14 Utah resorts for free with the Ski Utah Passport.

Using the Passport, fifth graders can ski or ride three times free (42 total days) at each of Utah’s 14 ski resorts and sixth graders can enjoy one day (14 total days) at each resort. Passports can be acquired for a $25 processing fee which includes shipping, handling and 500 inches of The Greatest Snow on Earth®.

“Participating in skiing and snowboarding keeps students active and happy during the cold winter months,” exclaimed Ski Utah Marketing Director Raelene Davis. “The Passport is the most affordable way for students to get introduced to this incredible lifetime sport.”

Parents looking for a more cost-effective way to ski with their fifth and sixth grade students should take advantage of the Ski Utah Yeti Pass, good for one day of skiing at every Utah resort for $549 ($39 per day).

For the Passport apply online or print an application at skiutah.com/passport. Parents are encouraged to file applications early to get the most use out of the program. Other questions may be answered by emailing Ski Utah at skiinfo@skiutah.com or by calling 801.534.1779.
