This trip is intended for all levels of skiers and boarders. We'll do one or two warmup runs together, and then break off into similar-ability groups for the rest of the day. Voted one of the best spring events in North America, Slush Cup features wild and crazy individuals brave enough to ski or ride into a pool of ice cold, slush water, wearing their craziest and most original outfits. Optional, to dress up in costume or retro ski gear to join in the fun!
Make sure you know where either the Petro-Canada car pool location is and where to park. Please read below for instructions. We are leaving the pool location at 7:15 am sharp. Please arrive 5 mins early (not too early please). DO NOT be late. If you are going to be late, please call Noel 403- 618-8865 so that we can make arrangements to wait/not wait for you. We are gathering up on the second floor of the
Creekside
Pub (restaurant beside the gondola at the base of
the mountain)
around 8:45 am.
We are having lunch at 12:30 pm at the cafeteria
on the second
floor of the day lodge. The cafeteria is called
"Alpine Grill".
Meeting for lunch is optional. You may choose to continue
skiing or have
lunch somewhere else.
At the end of the day, we are gathering up again
on the second
floor of the Creekside Pub at 5:00 pm at the base
of the
mountain before leaving the hill together.
