We will be having lunch at 11:30 am at the main lodge cafeteria. . You may choose to continue skiing or have lunch somewhere else.

At the end of the day, we are gathering on the FIRST FLOOR of the Creekside Pub at 4-4:30 pm at the base of the mountain before leaving the hill together by 4:45pm. Anyone wishing to have an apre-ski drink at the Creekside pub before returning to Calgary is encouraged to go early but be ready to leave the hill for Calgary at 5:00 pm.
