5th and 6th Grade Passport Program
Courtesy of JHMR, all 5th and 6th Grade students registered in Teton County receive 10 free days of skiing at Jackson Hole anytime during the 2011/12 season. They are also eligible for ten ski or board rentals from JH Sports in the Bridger Center. 5th and 6th graders from Jackson Elementary, Colter Elementary, Jackson Middle, Kelly, Moran, Alta and Journeys Schools are welcome to participate.
Registration: To receive your Passport Pass, parents must fill out a JHMR waiver of liability (available at the Season Pass Office) and bring the student to the Season Pass Office. We will confirm their eligibility for the program, and issue a 10-day pass and a 10-day JH Sports rental voucher. If a student already has a 2011/12 JHMR pass, bring the pass to the Season Pass Office and we can add 10-days of skiing and/or rentals to that pass.
If you have questions about the program, please call Margaret Brady at 307.739.2770.
