Itinerary:

Skiing/Snowboarding activities have inherent risks involved. Rental packages now include helmets.
FYI, day tickets costs $85.00 + GST, basic rental package costs $39.95 + GST payable at the resort (not to me).
For Apres-ski outing 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 7:30 AM SHARP so as to arrive at the top of the Gondola by 9:30AM. So, please arrive at Shouldice by 7:20 to get gear organized. You WILL be left behind if you don't show up on time.

We will try to meet up for lunch at noon-ish at the restaurant at the Inn beside the Standish chair or Trapper's pub.

If you would like to drive please indicate in the notes section how many people including gear you can take in your car, as well as what type of vehicle you will be driving. Preference will be given to those drivers that can accomodate at least 2 passengers with FULL gear. Try to fill- up your gas tank as well so there will be no more pit stops required from Shouldice.

Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $84.00 (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.
