Everything here comes from skiutah.com — no aggregator sites, because the details that matter in this category are the ones secondhand lists get wrong. Registration for 2026-27 is open now.
Grades: 4th, 5th, and 6th. Access: three days of skiing or riding at each of Utah's 15 resorts — 45 days. Price: $79 now, rising to $99 at midnight on December 1, 2026. You don't have to live in Utah — the program is open to any 4th, 5th, or 6th grader, including out-of-state and home-schooled students.
The 15 resorts: Park City Mountain, Deer Valley, Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Sundance, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, Eagle Point, Beaver Mountain, Brian Head, Cherry Peak, Nordic Valley, and Woodward Park City. Plan around one thing: Deer Valley is ski-only. No snowboarding — if your kid rides, that's one of your fifteen gone.
Six of the fifteen resorts have zero blackout dates. The remaining nine carry holiday restrictions. That's unusually generous for a program at this price, and it's the strongest single argument for Utah's passport over a neighboring state's. The catch to remember: restrictions vary by mountain rather than applying program-wide, so check each resort's specific dates in the Pass Portal before you commit to a day.
You self-redeem through the Ski Utah Pass Portal, and the process differs slightly by resort — which is the part that trips people up at the ticket window. The general flow: redeem in the Pass Portal, then bring the emailed redemption receipt (printed or on your phone) to the resort ticket window. Three resorts have their own wrinkles:
Brighton
Redeem in the Pass Portal, then enter your Ski Utah voucher code in Brighton's own e-shop and click "Confirm Voucher." Staff load all three days onto one reusable RFID card on your first visit, so you go direct-to-lift after that. No consecutive days required, no reservations.
Eagle Point
Requires self-redeeming in the Pass Portal and then using Eagle Point's own estore to complete the ticket.
Brian Head
Wants you to complete its liability waiver before you arrive, which speeds up check-in at the counter.
The Pass Portal also lets you check availability, view redemption history, and track how many days your family has used across the season, from any device. One restriction worth noting: lift tickets from the passport are non-transferable, have no cash value, can't be combined with any other discount, and are valid for the 2026-27 season only.
Ski Utah sells a companion pass aimed directly at parents whose kids are on the passport. The Yeti Pass is one lift ticket at every Utah ski and snowboard resort during the season, priced at $899, with no blackout dates at 14 of the 15 resorts — non-transferable, usable only by the pass holder. There's also the Ski Utah Gold Pass, the only fully transferable season pass valid at all 15 resorts with no blackouts, including summer access. Neither is cheap. But if you're driving your kid to fifteen different mountains anyway, the Yeti Pass is the version of that trip where you also get to ski.
Utah has a second, entirely free option. The Epic SchoolKids Utah Pack is free for children in kindergarten through 5th grade and provides five days of skiing at Park City. One important difference from Colorado: in Colorado the two programs cover completely separate resort lists, so families stack them for a much bigger total. In Utah they overlap — Park City Mountain appears in both the Ski Utah Passport and the Epic SchoolKids Pack. You can still hold both, and the Epic pack adds days at Park City beyond your passport's three; just don't assume Utah's math works like Colorado's, because it doesn't.

Four other verified programs: Colorado stacks to 96 days for $77–$82, Idaho is the cheapest at a $29 fee, Vermont is 90+ days for $35 with an adult-ticket catch, and New Hampshire is $59 for 30+ mountains at one day each (and sells out).
