Wyoming ski resorts recognize the sacrifice our nation’s active duty military members are making in service of our country. To honor their service, Wyoming ski resorts would like to extend a variety of skiing and snowboarding discounts to active duty military to help them get out on the ski slopes during the 09/10 ski season.  

These discounted skiing and snowboarding offers are available to all active duty members of the military with a valid military ID. A few areas even extend the military discounts to immediate family members possessing valid military ID. Active duty military members can then spend the day out on the ski slopes skiing and snowboarding with their spouses and kids.
