SAM Magazine—Broomfield, Colo., March 23, 2015—Vail Resorts is expanding its program for fifth and sixth graders, formerly known as School of Shred, to include all kindergarten through fifth graders. Renamed “Epic SchoolKids Colorado Pack,” the program provides 16 days of free skiing—four days each at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and Keystone. In addition, Epic SchoolKids can receive a free full-day beginner lesson and equipment rentals at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge or Keystone in the month of January, outside of holiday periods, as part of Learn to Ski & Ride Month.

“Colorado kids are in a most enviable position, having the Rocky Mountains on their doorstep,” said Gov. John Hickenlooper. “As a Colorado-based company, Vail Resorts is providing a tremendous opportunity for our community, our families and our kids, to get outside, explore the mountains, and learn and play in the outdoors. Opening up the possibility for kids' participation in snowsports—some who may never before have dreamed that they could enjoy such an experience—is an important effort."

Eligible Epic SchoolKids simply need to bring their mom, dad or guardian to participating Front Range Colorado Ski & Golf, Colorado Ski & Sport and Boulder Ski Deals locations to register for an Epic SchoolKids Pack, beginning Monday, March 23, through Memorial Day. Epic SchoolKids must present a copy of their report card, school ID or birth certificate, as well as a photo for their pass. A parent or guardian will be asked to sign a release.
