Register Online for CSCUSA's Passport Program for 3rd-6th Graders

By Kyrie Collins, Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock-Lone Tree Publisher December 15, 2023

One of the advantages of growing up in Colorado is having access to world-class skiing all across our state. Another advantage is learning to ski at a considerable discount!

Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) is excited to announce that registration is open for the 2023-24 Passport Program for children in 3rd through 6th grade! You do NOT need to be a Colorado resident to apply for the program. CSCUSA believes every child should have the opportunity to enjoy our state's signature winter sport.


3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th GRADE PASSPORT

CSCUSA's Passport Program provides participants with four (4) days of skiing or snowboarding at each of 20 participating resorts for $65 (the price is subject to change throughout the season). Ski all 80 days or just a few.

There is no better deal for young skiers than this one!


HOW DO I REGISTER MY CHILD?

First, the Parent/Guardian needs to create an account or log into an existing account and add a 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th Grade Passport to the account. Then, complete the registration steps for your child. Be sure you:

  • Provide a digital image of your child (no hats, goggles, or sunglasses).
  • Submit documentation to verify their current grade, such as a school report card, school ID, school transcript, government-issued passport, or birth certificate. Home-schooled children can apply if they are in 3rd-6th grade.
  • Complete the checkout process by acknowledging the terms and conditions and completing payment.

NOTE: If registering for multiple Passports, this process will have to be completed for each Passport holder.

The approval process takes 3-5 business days. Once approved, you'll get an email and be ready to hit the slopes!


PARTICIPATING RESORTS

The 2023-24 participating resorts are Arapahoe Basin, Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Cooper, Copper Mountain, Echo Mountain, EldoraGranby Ranch, Hesperus, Howelsen Hill, Loveland, Monarch, Powderhorn, Purgatory, Snowmass, Steamboat, Sunlight, Telluride, and Winter Park.

Some ski areas may require reservations (either for the entire season or during peak periods) to use your Passport for the 2023-24 season. Contact the ski area directly or visit their website to learn how they are redeeming the Passport.
