Colorado Ski Country USA's 5th Grade Passport program gives any fifth-grader who registers for the program three free days of skiing or snowboarding at 21 different ski areas across the state. No purchase of a parent lift ticket required; kids can ski for one day or take advantage of all three of the free days available.
