Powder Passport Goes Polar Express

At Santa’s very kind request, our workshop has gone POLAR EXPRESS this year! All US Ground standard shipping orders placed before December 21st (12pm, Eastern Standard Time) will automatically be upgraded to ensure arrival before Christmas Day.

Here’s 6 Reasons Your Skier Will LOVE the Powder Passport:

  1. The credit-card sized pass fits snuggly into a jacket pocket–or a stocking.
  2. With a choice of 16 Northeast Mountains, skiers never have to wait for the snow to come to them; they can follow the snow wherever it goes.
  3. Cards are available in 1, 2, 3, 5 & 7-Day passes. Once skiers choose the number of days they’d like, they are free to be spontaneous with their ski plans.
  4. Free pocket-sized guidebook filled to the brim with trail maps, mountain descriptions and directions.
  5. Comes pre-loaded with discounts to mountain resorts, private lessons, and ski shops. Perfect for planning those romantic skiing weekends or spur-of-the-moment ski outings with friends.
  6. NO BLACKOUT DATES means that instead of spending all day cooped up on Christmas, New Years, & Presidents day, skiers can treat their family (and themselves) to a day on the slopes. That’s one way to burn off the Christmas ham & egg nog!

If you have skiers on your list this holiday season, give them the gift of freedom and flexibility!
