Kids Ski Free in Colorado... When You Signup in Advance. Here's How:

You've heard the rumors... Kids Ski Free at Keystone. This is true when you book with Vail Resorts lodging, but typically those 'free' lift tickets are built into the system in the form of higher lodging rates. You could instead choose to pay lower lodging rates with SummitCove Vacation Rentals AND get free skiing for your kids at Keystone and Arapahoe Basin this 17/18 ski season with the following programs. Be sure you don't miss the deadlines though, these great deals won't be around forever!
