Child cards sell well
More than 1000 of the child ID cards for use this season at Lake Ohau, Mount Hutt, and Porter Heights had been sold in Canterbury by midMay.
The three participating ski-fields have split the former single child’s lift ticket into: primary-inter-mediate, and secondary school sections.
A primary-intermediate school child will pay $4 for a lift ticket and a secondary school pupil of any age $6, with the ID card being used to eliminate proof of age problems at the ticket office.
If lhe split had not been implemented, parents would have been paying the full adult rate of $lO for a secondary school pupil over
15 years of age this year, or half the adult rate for a five or six-year-old, making the cost of family ski-ing quite considerable.
The ID card — which is produced by a Polaroid camera system and incorporates the holder’s photograph — is available at various locations which can be obtained by telephoning Seekers, 792-720 Christchurch.
