Price Colorado's K–6 passport before buying kids' tickets

Open tip ↗

The 2026/27 CSCUSA Ski Passport offers students in grades K–6 from any state four visits per participating area across 19 areas. Holiday blackouts are December 25, 2026–January 1, 2027; January 16–17 and February 13–14, 2027. Allow 3–5 business days for activation in season, or up to three weeks before opening. Validate each visit in the portal within seven days before skiing; confirmed validations cannot be canceled. Save the code before leaving. Adult ticket purchase is not required by the program, but children must be supervised. Budget any skiing adults, lessons, rentals and transport separately; the child's allocation does not establish their cheapest complete ski day.
