Canadian and Washington families: check Whistler's free SchoolKids pack

Open tip ↗

Canadian and Washington State residents with K–5 children can apply for five free Whistler Blackcomb days in 2026/27, usable across the season. A parent or legal guardian must enroll the child; prepare the required child documents and a parent's residency proof. Follow the confirmation email's pickup instructions. Enrollment is limited-time: check availability now. Restricted dates are December 26–31, 2026, January 16 and February 13–14, 2027. A child who has never skied or snowboarded may also receive one combined first-timer lesson and rental package, subject to availability. Call at least two weeks ahead and confirm the date and meeting base: ski and snowboard lesson locations differ by period. Adult access, travel and equipment outside that package are separate costs.
