A commemorative Ski Passport is a printed plastic keepsake card.
You cannot use a commemorative Ski Passport to buy a lift ticket (or anything else, for that matter). You can put it in a scrapbook, stick it on a bulletin board next to your kids’ artwork, or use it as an ice-scraper (although it will take you a looooooooong time to scrape your windshield, as it is the size of a credit card).
Commemorative Ski Passports are available for an additional $25 each through our shop.
There’s nothing like a bluebird day in Colorado. Crisp breezes. Billowing powder. And mountains as far as the eye can see.
It’s how you introduce your children to a lifelong sport. It’s where you watch them push and grow. Where you connect and reconnect with far-flung family and catch up with old friends. Where you swap stories and give in to giggles and make memories.
The new Gems Parent Pass gets you more mountains, more memories, more of what you love.
Available only with the purchase of a Ski Passport or Gems Teen Pass in our shop. One (1) per household. Quantities limited.
Colorado Ski Country USA is dedicated to creating opportunities for kids to participate in Colorado’s heritage of skiing and snowboarding. We are proud to have served more than half a million students since 1996.
