Skiing is expensive. This season, Ski Wednesday will share some great ways to save as the season goes on, bringing you more affordable ways to get out on the snow.

If you are the parent of a fifth grader, amazing news: Your child can ski free (yes – we said free) for the entire season (up to 90 ski days) at any of Ski Vermont’s 20 alpine and 24 nordic ski spots..

The program is open to any current fifth grade student, regardless of state or country of residence. Some holiday restrictions apply, and students must be accompanied by an adult with a valid lift ticket, trail pass or season pass. There is a $30 administration fee.
