CANNONSBURG SKI AND SNOWBOARD PUNCH PASSES

There's no snow yet, but we are getting excited for WINTER and passes make excellent gifts!! The Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a snowy winter, and purchasing a lift ticket punch card to Cannonsburg can save you:

  • Up to 50% on lift ticket prices! 

  • Discounted lessons 

  • Discounted rentals

  • A free tubing ticket when you use all of your punches!  

Purchase punch passes in person at Cannonsburg or through Cannonsburg’s online store (https://cannonsburg.com/tickets-passes/ ) Make sure you include the name Erin Barbeau as your sponsor and East Rockford Middle School as your school. See below for more details!

When the snow gets here, we look forward to hanging out at Cannonsburg weekly, but punch passes can be used at any time and you don’t have to have a punch pass to join us on club nights. Watch Schoology for updates and think of snow! :)
