Learn to Ski and Snowboard Without Breaking the Bank!

Skiing and snowboarding have a long-lasting reputation for being expensive and sports for the rich. The overall cost is often a deterrent for families who want to learn. The most expensive lift tickets at major resorts get their fair share of media attention, but there are also a lot of  ways to save money.  So…. what’s the answer?

January, right around the corner, is Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month. That means resorts across the country offer really affordable package deals (rentals, lift ticket, lesson, etc) for beginners to get them on snow and fall in love with the sport.  Since skiing and snowboarding can be intimidating and expensive, this is a huge effort in getting new participants past those obstacles. Learning both sports can be surprisingly affordable for those who know where to look! The Free for Kids Passport is great for 3rd and 4th graders to ski free or learn how to ski…
