5th Grade Passport Program

The 5th Grade Free Passport Program offers FREE skiing and/or snowboarding to every 5th grader in the State of Idaho. The program involves thousands of Idaho families, schools, and the snowsports industry. The 5th grade ski free passport opens doors to healthy fun, helping kids and their families enjoy our state's fantastic winter season.

Participating ski areas include Bogus Basin, Brundage, Kelly Canyon, Lookout Pass, Lost Trail, Pebble Creek, Pomerelle, Schweitzer, Silver, Soldier Mountain, Sun Valley, and Tamarack.

In addition participating ski areas may offer free or discounted lessons and rentals for 5th graders. Some areas also offer parents and siblings discounted lessons. Once you receive your passport you will see each ski area’s information page for the ski area’s discount details.
