Thanks to popular demand, we have this year decided to add a trip to Fernie Alpine Resort, and what better time to do it than the final weekend of Reading Week. The snow at this hill NEVER disappoints, and with the new Polar Peak lift opening this season, Fernie can only be described with one word: EPIC. Except that word is way too overused, so we suggest you come on the trip and decide for yourself how to describe this incredible hill!

Cost: $285 per person, cash or cheque
Number of buses: 1 (56 people total)
Who can sign up: Anyone!

Check out www.skifernie.com for full details on the resort. ALSO, we still have a couple spots left on our Revelstoke Trip! Come by our office (MSC 279R) to sign up for both trips!

Our annual Revy Trip is one you do not want to miss! Revelstoke has the highest vertical of any resort in North America, the snow is always fantastic, and you know that 5 hour bus ride out will be legendary! Check out www.revelstokemountainresort.com for more info about the hill, and see the facebook event page for the trip here.

Sale Location: MSC 279 (beside the Stor, across from the pharmacy in Mac Hall)
Cost: $240 per person, cash or cheque

Number of buses: 2 (112 people total)
Who can sign up: Yourself, plus ONE friend if you know someone who can’t make it to the sale (must have their payment upon sign up as well)

Details: The cost of the trip includes licensed motor coach transportation to and from Revelstoke, two nights accomodation, and two days lift tickets, as well as some free swag from our sponsors and VIP entry to one of the local bars for everyone on the trip on the Saturday night!

So if you haven’t heard, Kicking Horse is getting PUKED on right now, so we’re thinking it’s about time we sell our annual gong show of a trip to Golden, BC and get burried in a sh*t tonne of powder!

TRIP GOES ON SALE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH @ 8:30AM! We’ll be in our usual spot in MSC 279, beside the Stor in Mac Hall.

Year after year, our regulars and new comers alike agree that this is one of the best trips they’ve ever been on – the partying is ridiculous and the skiing/riding is even better. We’ve had 50+ cm of fresh powder both of the last two years, and it’s looking like La Nina is back in full force this season, so (knock on wood) it’ll happen again. Hopefully we won’t get snowed in for an extra night again like last year…

COST: $240 per person, cash or cheque, full payment required up front
DATE: Friday, Jan. 13th through Sunday, Jan. 15th
WHO: You of course! You are also allowed to sign up ONE friend along with yourself
DETAILS: Cost covers licenced motor coach transportation to and from Golden, two nigths accomodation, two days lift tickets, a couple free beers from our friends at Big Rock, as well as some free swag from our other sponsors

If you’re still on the fence about whether you want to come, our hotel has a water slide…you know you want to come!

Check out the Facebook event page, and be sure to visit Kicking Horse Resort’s website to get a full idea of the sheer awesomeness of this hill if you’ve never been before!

This year, we’ve partnered with The Den to help promote their annual Movember party! This Friday, Nov. 25th, expect a night of mustache good times, with drink specials and prizes to be had. Tickets are only $5, and all proceeds go to prostate cancer research and the Movember movement. We will be selling tickets in Mac Hall Thursday and Friday from 11-2pm! Make sure to pick one up!

Do you like patios? Do you like your parent’s tacky old parkas? Do you like shot skis? Do you like BULLDOGS? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then get your sexy ass down to Julio’s Barrio in Kensington this Wednesday night (Nov. 9th, no school Thursday!) for our annual PATIO PARKA PARTY!!!

That’s right, this year we’ve thrown a little Mexican twist in it, which may seem a little odd, but hey, Spanky wants what he wants. We’ll be serving up $9.50 bulldogs, $4.75 Corona, Pacifico, and Negro Modelo, and of course, $20 Jager shot ski’s (4 shots)! And as usual, we’ll be doing shots through a customized Ski Club ice sculpture up on their patio (did we mention it has heaters?).

On top of all this we will also be premiering a super awesome ski and snowboard movie to get you all stoked for the upcoming season at 11pm from PYP Productions: Amateur Hour. Check out the trailer here.

How does one get a ticket you ask? It’s as simple as just showing up at the door with your Ski Club member card, and the recommended $5 donation to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation – that’s right, we believe in charity, and this charity definitely deserves every penny they receive! And of course, we will be selling memberships at the door for $10.

Click the poster image below to find the Facebook page and be sure to invite all your friends. Oh, and don’t forget those tacky old parkas! It is a PARKA party after all!

For all of you who are excited to see the upcoming Art of Flight Premiere this coming weekend, you will definitely be interested in this!

This Friday (Nov. 4th) at the Roadhouse is the Art of Flight Pre-Premiere party featuring DJ Pump, hosted by our friends at Red Bull! Your Ski Club card gets you no line and no cover before 10:30 AND a free Red Bull when you get there! On top of that, Red Bull will be giving a way a trip for 2 to go cat skiing that night as well!!!

And just a reminder, the Art of Flight premieres this Saturday, Nov. 5th at the Uptown Theatre – click here to get your tickets, and view the movie trailer here.

It’s that time of year again: HALLOWEEN! How are you going to celebrate? By coming to our party at The Mansion on Saturday, Oct. 29th of course! We’ll be selling tickets all week by the new Fuel For Gold in Mac Hall – $5 gets you no line/no cover until 10pm, a free drink, and for those of you who live near Rez, we’ll have a couple party buses picking up on 24th Ave leaving at 9pm! Costumes are mandatory (duh). Be sure to grab your ticket soon and tell all your friends. Full details can be found on the Facebook event page.

P.S. What the hell happened Friday night?!? Based on a recent poll, 8 out of 10 neighbourhood ski club execs agree that this is the worst hangover EVER.  Still. It’s now Sunday. Everything hurts. F**k. I’m going back to bed.
