Free Skiing For Fourth-Graders

CLARKSTON, Mich. - The Michigan Snowsports Industry Association (MSIA) has established a program endorsed by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm that will allow fourth-grade students in Michigan the opportunity to ski for free.

"Fourth grade is the perfect age to learn to ski. Nine- and 10-year-old kids have the coordination to pick up the sport quickly," said MSIA chairman and director of skiing at Shanty Creek Resorts Steve Kershner.

Fourth-graders who have a "Cold is Cool" ski and ride passport and are accompanied by a paying adult will receive up three free lift tickets or trail passes for use at 21 participating ski locations.

The "Cold is Cool" ski and ride passport application, which charges $15 for printing and shipping, can be picked up at participating ski shops or at
