Itinerary:

We will head off to the mountains with Downhill Riders on a pre -Christmas getaway!

There is a nice mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced level runs at Kicking Horse Mountain. However, I've heard a few rumours that some of the runs are pretty challenging and that there is some pretty intense vertical on some of the black runs. Please note that I have never been to this mountain and so cannot assess whether or not this is true. I've also heard that they get great snow and that it's pretty fantastic skiing. Check out the ski map for yourself in the Mountain section of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

We will stay at the Sportsman Lodge in Golden, where accommodation options are either quad, triple, double or twin occupancy. You choose who will stay with you in your room, determine which type of occupancy that makes and pay the associated price of that type of room. Quad is 2 beds for 4 people, triple is 2 beds for 3 people, double is 1 bed for 2 people and twin is 2 beds for 2 people. It's up to you! If you would like to come on your own, we will assign a partner for you for the twin occupancy option.

If you sign up for a quad, triple or double, you must let me know who your roomies are and all must pay by the deadline or your room will be cancelled and all four, three or two of you are out of luck.

Prices per person are as follows:

Quad occupancy: $272
Triple occupancy: $294
Double occupancy: $316
Twin occupancy: $327

These are great prices for what you get - transportation, lodging for Friday and Saturday night and lift tickets for Saturday and Sunday! (see details below)

Required Items to Bring:

Overnight gear
Money for food and drinks
Warm ski clothes and change of clothes for each ski day

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Skis/snowboards/boots/poles (but these can be rented for additional money)
Ski/snowboard helmet, wrist guards
Beverages for the bus trip (it's the party bus.....) - you can bring a small, soft shell style cooler, but not the full size kind as space will be at a premium
Your party pants (aka party attitude!)
Swimsuit for waterslide and hot tub at the Lodge
Backpack for the hill
A couple of lunches so you don't have to pay hill prices

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Bus will take us there! We depart the carpool location at 6:00 pm sharp and arrive in Golden at 12:30 am. You must be at the carpool location at 5:30 pm in order to find your bus and load your gear and be on the bus and ready to go at 6:00 pm. Sunday we depart at 4:00 pm and arrive Edmonton at 11:00 pm.

Notes:

If you need a ride to the bus pickup location, I will poll the group and see if anyone is available.
