Alterra Mountain Company, owner of the Ikon pass, announced today a “Kids Ski Free Week” at 15 North American ski resort destinations. Every day between Sunday, Dec. 7, and Friday, Dec. 13, kids under 12 are eligible for a free lift ticket at participating mountains.
If you’re planning a ski trip with the family, this might be one of the best times all season to hit the slopes.
“Winter is here and we want to help families get on the mountain this season,” Jared Smith, president and CEO of Alterra Mountain Company, said in a press release. “We hope Kids Ski Free Week ignites an excitement around skiing and snowboarding and helps start a lifelong passion the entire family can enjoy for years to come.”
During Kids Ski Free Week, you can get your child’s ticket online or at a Guest Services office at any of the 15 participating resorts. Alterra notes in its press release that no purchase is necessary to redeem this offer, though rentals and lessons are not included.
