Skiing/Snowboarding activities have inherent risks involved. Rental packages now include helmets.
Check the terrain suitable for you: http://skibanff.com/the_mountain/t errain.php
FYI, day adult lift tickets costs $80, basic rental package costs $40 payable at the resort (not to me).
We will meet at the Creek Side Pub at the gondola base.
This is a group event, so those who cannot wait for all to ride to the village together, and be back on time for the departure time set by your driver, please sign up for another event.
If you want to avoid further line ups, buy your tickets prior. Intermediate and above skiers or snowboarders are welcome.

We will leave the carpool at 7:00 to arrive at the top of the Gondola by 9:00. Please call the coordinator (403-618-8865) if you are going to be late. Please do not be late more than 5 mins.

We will meet up for lunch at the restaurant on the second floor of the Day Lodge at noon. This is optional. If you are having fun skiing, you may continue on.

At the end of the day (4:30 p.m.), we will meet at the Creekside Pub at the base.
