excluding the Program Blackout Dates which vary by ski resort. The blackout dates
are identified by each ski area in your Snowpass.
Q: What if I do not own equipment?

Q: Never skied or boarded before?
A: No problem, your first time is on us. Your Snowpass booklet contains one
FREE Learn to Ski/Board Package.
Q: What if my parents do not ski or snowboard?
A: Now would be a great time for them to discover skiing or snowboarding,
too! All ski resorts offer beginner packages that include a lift ticket,
lesson, and equipment at a discounted rate. You can check out the
www.skipa.com website as a portal or call the ski resorts and ask them about
their beginner packages.
Q: How much does it cost to get a Pennsylvania Snowpass?
A: There is a $10.00 application fee to cover the cost of processing the
application and mailing of your Snowpass. In your Snowpass there is one FREE
Learn to Ski/Board Package along with three coupons for each resort to ski
and snowboard for free all winter long! The Snowpass is valued at hundreds of
dollars! Make sure to participate this year!
Q: Can my friends or relatives who are in 4th grade apply for a Pennsylvania
Snowpass as well?
A: Yes, you can print out more application forms, for your friends and
relatives, off our website: www.skipa.com. Make sure you introduce your
friends to the sports of skiing and snowboarding this winter too!
Q: Do I have to live in Pennsylvania?
A: No. The Passport program is available to all 4th graders no matter where
they reside.
Q: I will have a fourth grader next year. Can I complete the application and
send it in now?
A: We would prefer that you wait until September to complete an application
for the 2004-2005 season. We would like to have a
break between the two so that the applications do not get mixed up.
Q: I sent my child's application in over 10 days ago but it's not showing up
in the system. Should I send in another application? A: If you have sent in
one application, please do not send in another until you confirm it with us
first. Sometimes the server fails and may not show your child's info in the
database even though we have received the application. Call us at
570-443-0963 to double check first.
Q: What if people have questions about the program?
A: Call the Snowpass information line at 570-443-0963.
