Ski the NW Rockies programs make family skiing more affordable.
These programs sponsored by Ski the NW Rockies resorts in Washington and Idaho will change the way your family thinks about winter. Spend time outdoors together and save money with free skiing or snowboarding for 5th graders and these affordable, all-inclusive learn-to-ski or snowboard programs.
EZ Ski or Ride 1-2-3 Program
Kids and parents can learn to ski or ride in three days with lift tickets, rentals and lessons.
The EZ Ski or Ride 1-2-3 program makes learning to ski or snowboard for the very first time affordable and easy for kids and parents. All four Ski the NW Rockies association resorts offer a three-visit package to first-timers at an incredible price ($199 and up) that includes three lift tickets, three rentals (boots, poles, skis or snowboard), and three lessons (ages, prices and details vary by resort).
How It Works: Pick one of the participating ski areas (Lookout Pass, Mt. Spokane, Silver Mountain or 49 Degrees North) where you want to sign up. Purchase the EZ Ski or Ride 1-2-3 package by calling the ski area to purchase your package and schedule the lessons. Then show up the day of the first lesson with plenty of time to get fitted for your rental gear. Your child (and maybe you) will be on your way to learning to ski or snowboard!

5th Grade Ski or Ride Free Passport
Fifth graders can ski or ride for free all season at four Ski the NW Rockies resorts.
This popular program helps get 5th graders out on the slopes for free for three full days at each participating resort (some blackout dates may apply). To participate, parents need to submit an application with a $30.27 one-time processing and convenience fee at Skinwrockies.com/5th-grade-ski-passport. A parent or guardian must be present at the mountain’s ticket offices to receive your child’s lift ticket.
How It Works: Submit your application and pay the processing fee online. You’ll receive an email with your passport that can be used to claim up to three lift tickets at Lookout Pass, Mt. Spokane, Silver Mountain and 49 Degrees North. You can either print the passport and bring it with you or pull it up on your phone to present it at the ticket office. Check with the specific ski area for full details. Visit Skinwrockies.com for details.
