  • Spring/Summer 2009
    Winter 2013/2014 Dear Canadian Ski Council Lift Pass Purchaser; We are proud to announce our 23rd season of our Discount Lift Pass Program. The Canadian Ski Council (CSC) is a non-profit organization whose mandate is to introduce more people to the healthy lifestyle of skiing and snowboarding. The Lift Pass Program offers a limited opportunity for skiers and riders to purchase ski/snowboard lift passes at a substantially reduced price that are usable any time. Funds raised through the Lift Pass Program are used by the Canadian Ski Council for future skier/snowboarder development and research programs in Canada. We wish to thank all of the participating Canadian ski areas for their generous contributions made to our skier/snowboarder development programs. The passes are all purchased in a group of 20 lift passes and are an exceptional value. These passes are priced significantly lower than the cost of a day pass or group discount package at participating ski areas. The lift passes can be used weekdays, weekends and holidays across Canada. If any participating ski area has any blackouts or restrictions, you will be advised as the ski areas have the option of including certain restrictions and/or black outs. The passes may be used individually and/or divided and used by family members, friends and/or colleagues. The lift pass book is ideal for gifts, bonuses and business incentives. Skiers/snowboarders can use all the passes at their favourite ski area but are encouraged to try several of the other participating resorts. To-date, 138 ski/snowboard areas have signed-up to participate in the CSC Lift pass program and will accept the passes during the 2013/2014 winter season.
