Grade 5 SnowPass

Grade 5's can Ski and Snowboard FREE This Winter at Shames Mountain.

The Grade 5 SnowPass program is a ski and snowboard industry initiative presented by the Canadian Ski Council to encourage kids to get outside and be active during the winter. Grade 5 was selected for the program because ten is an ideal age to learn how to ski or snowboard. The SnowPass not only provides a unique opportunity to "try before you buy", it helps make skiing and snowboarding more accessible to families who might not otherwise participate. Now in its nineth year, the SnowPass program has already generated thousands of resort visits by more that 21,000, 5th graders across Canada.

Anyone who is currently in Grade 5 (or born in 1997) can get a Grade 5 SnowPass. The mail-in application forms are being distributed to schools in early November, or you can visit the SnowPass web site at www.snowpass.ca.  Applications can also be picked up at Shames Mountain Downtown Office or on the Mountain when we are open. There is a $15(incl. GST) administration charge for the SnowPass, and applicants are required to provide proof of age or grade, plus photo which is used in the Grade 5 SnowPass book for personal identification.

The Grade 5 SnowPass is valid beginning Dec. 1st, 2007. The SnowPass is not

valid on school trips or any other excursions where discounted group rates apply.
