We would prefer that you wait until late September to complete an application for the 2018/2019 ski season. We would like to have a break between the two ski seasons so that applications do not get mixed up.

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.

Applications must be postmarked by February 28, 2019 in order to be processed. The processing time is 2 to 3 weeks. You can apply online at SkiPa.com or by mail as we do not have a drop-off or pick-up location. It is very important that you plan accordingly especially around holiday periods when the volume of requests significantly increases.

All applications must be sent via mail as we do not have a drop-off or pick-up location.
