Vail Resorts Reopens Registration for Popular Colorado Epic Schoolkids Program
Vail Resorts Reopens Registration for Popular Epic SchoolKids Program Offering Free Skiing and Riding For All Colorado’s Kindergarten Through Fifth Grade School Kids
- Benefits include four complimentary days of skiing and riding at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone, respectively, for the 2015-16 winter season – that’s 16 days free per student
- Participants receive one complimentary full-day beginner lesson, including equipment rental, during the month of January, during Learn to Ski & Ride Month
Vail Resorts originally launched this program in the spring and it was quickly adopted by Colorado families. By re-launching registration for the fall, Vail Resorts is giving even more kids a chance to enjoy the thrill of skiing and snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains.
“We’ve heard loud and clear that Colorado parents want their kids to have access to the mountains and the many benefits of snowsports,” said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts. “Demand has been great for Epic SchoolKids Colorado Pack and we feel we can connect more kids to skiing and snowboarding in our communities across our state. As a result, we’re reopening the registration so more Colorado kids can participate.”
Eligible Epic SchoolKids simply need to bring their mom, dad or guardian to participating Front Range Colorado Ski & Golf, Colorado Ski & Sport and Boulder Ski Deals locations to register for an Epic SchoolKids Pack, beginning Monday, Aug. 17, through Oct. 11, 2015. Epic SchoolKids must present a copy of their report card, school ID or birth certificate, as well as a photo for their pass. A parent or guardian will be asked to sign a release, and then the Epic SchoolKids Colorado Pack will be delivered via mail.
Holiday restrictions apply to the ski days, as well as the lesson and equipment rental. To learn more about the program, visit epicschoolkids.com/colorado.
