Ski Excursion for students..
It's the snow industry's anniversary celebration!
Come out and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Grade 5 SnowPass, the 30th anniversary of National Ski and Snowboard Week and Blue Mountain's 65th anniversary.
National Ski and Snowboard Week is also your first chance to try out all the latest and greatest ski and snowboard gear at the Samsung Ultimate Test Slide events.
NSSW and the Samsung Ultimate Test Slide demo tour will be launched at Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario on January 12th— come join the party! “Blue Mountain is a great venue for the NSSW kick-off because Blue truly has something for everyone,” says Chedore. “
On January 12th, 2007, fifty well-deserving Grade 5 students from Brandon Gate Elementary School in Toronto, Ontario will receive a tremendous gift from Blue
Mountain Resort, ON. Blue Mountain and other ski industry partners have generously donated the gift of skiing and snowboarding to these 10 year-old children whom ordinarily would not have the opportunity to get out and enjoy a day on the slopes.
These lucky 5th graders have worked hard at making the grade in order to be included in this ski and snowboard experience. We hope this day on the slopes will enhance their lives and provide them with a chance to develop skills and a love for the sport for their entire lifetime!
The kids will also be invited to join in at the official launch of the 30th anniversary of Samsung National Ski and Snowboard Week (NSSW) and the 65th anniversary
of Blue Mountain Resort, which will take place at noon on January 12th, 2007 at the base of Smart Alec, one of Blue Mountain's great ski runs.
NSSW is one of Canada's largest winter celebrations and takes place January 13th to 21st, 2007 at participating ski areas across Canada. This special programme of events does not end on January 12th! In honour of the Grade 5 SnowPass program's 10th anniversary, each child will be given a complimentary Grade 5 SnowPass book so that they can continue skiing and snowboarding at over 100 participating ski areas in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Some of the areas will also be offering a chance for another visit next season when the kids are in Grade 6.
The Canadian Ski Council is extremely grateful to industry partners for making this ski excursion possible for these students. Partners include: Blue Mountain Resort, Samsung Canada, Swany Gloves, etc.
The first NSSW Test Slide event takes place at Blue Mountain on Saturday January 12th and Sunday January 13th from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and finishes up with a lucky-ballot prize draw for a chance to win great ski and snowboard prizes. All you need to register is a major credit card (or bring a parent with you to provide one). National Ski and Snowboard Week events are happening everywhere, all week long, from January 13th-21st. See you on the slopes!
