Note: WHEN YOU REGISTER, PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN THE "NOTES" SECTION: Are you willing to drive, and if so, how many people plus equipment can you take including yourself. This trip is primarily intended for skiers who are confident at skiing blue runs and are not afraid of venturing onto single black diamonds. Individuals with similar skiing abilities will be organized into groups before we leave Calgary and will car-pool together (and hopefully ski together as well - though not mandatory). On arriving at the Sunshine Village parking lot, purchase your lift ticket (adults: $75.95; seniors: $61.67) and then meet in front of the entrance to the gondola. We will take the gondola up, as a group, to the main village and ski until 4:30 PM. Those who wish to get together as a group for lunch can meet at the Mad Trapper's Saloon (Located between the Day Lodge and Strawberry lift) at around 12:30 PM. At 4:30 PM, we will all meet in front of the Goat’s Eye Day Lodge and then proceed down the "Ski Out" to the parking lot. We will finish the day off at the Creekside Bar & Grill before heading back to Calgary. Please note that this event is carpool only, therefore no one will be permitted to meet at the event. | |||||||

Carpool Cost: | Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $81.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Friday, April 19, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle. | ||||||

No out-of-bounds or off-piste skiing is permitted for this event. Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip.
