Itinerary:

It's slush cup!!! Do NOT show up without a costume. A tail tied to your helmet or a hockey jersey are NOT costumes.Be a good sport and try to wear a cool costume,,or at least try.

This trip is intended for all levels of skiers and boarders.

We will try to stay together as a group as this is supposed to be a fun day not a die hard ski day. Anyone wanting to take off on your own is allowed to do so. If the ability of skiers is too great we will break off into ability level after a few runs.

We are meeting at the Petro-Canada Gas Station on Highway 1 and 22. Please read below for instructions.

We are leaving the meeting location at 715 am sharp. Please arrive 5 mins early . DO NOT be late. If you are going to be late, please call Terrie @ 403- 828 9434 so that we can make arrangements to wait/not wait for you. Please note car pool costs and pay your driver accordingly. Also, if you do not have a park pass please offer your driver $3 (suggested) towards park entrance fee.

We are gathering up on the SECOND FLOOR of the Creekside Pub (restaurant beside the gondola at the base of the mountain) at 8:30 am in order to take the gondola up at 8:45 am . We are having lunch at 1:30 pm in the tent in front of the main lodge (beside WaWa chair lift). You can bring your own lunch. Microwaves are provided.
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 on the SECOND FLOOR of the Creekside Pub at 5 - 530 (Lifts close at 430pm) pm at the base of the mountain before leaving the hill. Anyone wishing to have an apres-ski drink at the Creekside pub before returning to Calgary is encouraged to go early.
