| I hope you will take some time to explore and experience skiing and snowboarding in Idaho. Idaho is a great place to play outdoors with your family. Get out and enjoy an active outdoors lifestyle on our millions of acres of wild forests. From skiing and snowboarding to x-country skiing and snow shoeing - our outdoor winter recreation opportunities are endless. Beautiful mountains beckon Idahoans all year long. Idaho truly has something for everyone, from scenic Schweitzer Mountain on Lake Pend Oreille in Northern Idaho to world-famous Sun Valley. Plan a visit to one of Idaho’s 18 ski areas; we’re certain that our hospitality will have you coming back for more. We hope to see you in the mountains soon! - Lori Otter, the First Lady of Idaho |
The 5th Grade Free Passport Program offers FREE skiing and/or snowboarding to every 5th
grader in Idaho. The program involves thousands of families, schools, and the snowsports
industry. The 5th grade ski free passport opens doors to healthy fun, helping kids and their
families enjoy our area's fantastic winter season.
In addition, Ski Idaho participating members are offering free or discounted lessons and
rentals for 5th graders. Some areas offer parents and siblings discounted lessons, too.
Once you receive your passport see each ski area's information page for each ski area's
discount details.
How the passport works
5th graders receive three free tickets at each of the 15 participating Idaho Ski Areas.
The passport must be presented by the fifth grader to obtain a free one-day lift ticket. Individual students or groups of students must have adult supervision while at the ski area. The supervising adult is not required to ski. If the supervising adult skis an adult lift ticket must be purchased. Groups larger than four must contact each individual mountain before arriving.
Have Fun!
