One of the great things about looking for Belle Creek homes is its proximity to local amenities.
Growing Up in Ski Country
Here in Belle Creek we are extremely lucky. Not only do we have the nice neighbors and a community center that brings us together, we have easy access to city life in Denver and world class skiing all along the Rocky Mountains. And it is all an easy commute from I-76.
One of the things that prohibits families from taking advantage of the awesome skiing practically outside our doorsteps, unfortunately, is the expense. When you are thinking about taking the kids to the mountains, ski school, lift tickets, lunches, and gear all add up- and keep some people off the slopes all together. When I first came to Colorado, I was flabbergasted that I met people who had grown up here and had never been skiing!
Scoring Free Skiing
Everyone likes to get things for free, especially if they are neat or unusual or useful. What if I told you that you could get FREE ski tickets? It’s true!
When I first heard that I just had to check it out. It had to be a one-time thing at some dinky ski slope no one ever heard of, I thought. But, it could still be fun....
Nope. I am happy to say that I was wrong!
Enter the 5th Grade Passport by Colorado Ski Country USA. It allows your 5th grade student to get a ski pass that gives them 4 FREE ski days at 21 different resorts. We’re talking Snowmass and Telluride! And also, closer resorts like Eldora and Arapahoe Basin.
What if your kids are older? The Passport extends to 6th graders, too, for a fee of $99, your 6th grader can enjoy 84 days of skiing this year!
Never skied before? No worries- there is also a FREE SKI LESSON for first timer 5th or 6th graders, which includes rentals. (Applies for snowboarding too!)
What About the Rest of Us?
The rest of the family can also get some pretty great deals with the Colorado Gems Card. This $10 investment will get you two-for-one or discounted adult and junior lift tickets.
What are you waiting for? Don’t procrastinate- the Ski Passport is only available if you apply before January 31, 2012.
