As the 2015/16 ski and snowboard season comes to an end, it’s time to start thinking about season pass options for next winter. And before you”ve even had a chance to put your family’s snow gear back in storage, Copper Mountain and Winter Park are gearing up for next winter with a special promotion for families and kids.

Both resorts are offering a Kids Ski Free promotion for the 2016/17 season, which features a free child season pass with the purchase of an adult season pass. Kids Ski Free “not only makes skiing and riding more affordable for families, but helps children get into the sport,” says Jesse True, senior vice president of Copper Mountain Resort. With this deal, ski families can look forward to a season of ski and snowboarding fun together, at a reasonable price.

The promotion is good on any adult (age 18+) season pass purchased now until June 1, 2016, and includes one free child season pass (age 12 and under) with every adult pass purchase. For an even bigger discount, adult passes are currently on sale for $399, and this price is guaranteed through April 4, 2016.

Season pass purchasers at Copper Mountain and Winter Park enjoy great benefits with no blackout dates, and money-saving perks including discounted friends and family lift tickets, food and beverage discounts and more. Passes for the 2016/17 season are already on sale and the Kids Ski Free promotion won’t last long, so consider acting now to get the best deal for your family.
