We were able to ski more often because WinterKids made it affordable with kids.
We skied a lot more as a family!
It definitely gave us more incentive to get out there on the slopes, every little bit helps!
Signing up for the winter kids app paid for itself with the first use! We have loved exploring new mountains around Maine this year!
We were able to ski more often with the savings through the WinterKids App.
The deals/offers are outstanding and help our family afford long days getting outside. Skiing has become borderline cost prohibitive these days. Your deals and arrangements make a huge difference.
Tried more ski mountains than we otherwise would have been able to afford. Thank you!
We got to go skiing more, and that made my kids love it!
It made skiing more affordable! Thank you!
We recommended and enjoyed using the app. Two big thumbs up to anyone asking about the WinterKids App!
Kids are totally in to skiing now and we would never have gone if we didn’t have the reduced ticket prices.
