Big List of Kids Ski Free Passport Programs (3rd-6th Grade)

A friend of ours told us about the Colorado Ski Passport that lets 5th and graders from any state ski for free at several Colorado resorts, and I thought that was a great concept to promote this fun outdoor activity. If you can get even a single free lift ticket (and possibly even a free lesson with rentals), that can be a big savings these days. This led me to more digging and I found that several other states have similar programs.

I tried to find all of the state-wide programs and listed them below. I am excluding single-resort promotions, but many resorts do have family or kid specials where you get discounts if you stay for a certain number of hotel nights, etc.
