If your child is getting skis or a snowboard for Christmas this year and is in Grade 4 or 5, this is great deal. The Canadian Ski Council's SnowPass allows kids in those grades (ages 9 and 10) to ski and ride three times at EACH participating ski area (150 of them!)  for only $29.95. A day pass at most ski areas costs $30 to $45 per day, so over the course of a season, the savings really add up. And you can use it at ski resorts across the country which is handy if you are skiing somewhere over the holidays or during March Break. Sign up is easy—apply online at  snowpass.ca.  Photo courtesy Canadian Ski Council
