PACKAGES ALL SEASON LONG. Skican team in Sunshine Village, AB 2017 Please allow me to introduce you to our team. We are passionate winter sports enthusiasts who first learned to snowplow on the slopes of the Appalachians, the Laurentians, and the Niagara Escarpment - from Batawa to Adanac, Dagmar to Boler, Osler to Morin Heights, Mont Cascades to Martok. We are experts in icy conditions, survivors of -30 celsius, and strategists on Highway 400, at the lift or in the lunch line. As toddlers, our parents tied a rope around our waist and pointed our skis downhill. We took lessons in the Nancy Greene ski school, playing in snow banks until long after sundown. In high school, we raced with the Ravens and the Snowhawks in bell bottom ski pants and fluorescent Sun Ice jackets. And as university students, we gravitated to resorts that let us ski for free if we made our own way to the trailhead, or worked as lifties at our favourite resorts in Canada, South America, Europe and Japan. Over the years we have raced with elite teams, directed Ski Schools, pursued graduate degrees and raised children. Returning to the roots of our ski stories, we are now introducing the next generation to our local hills. We are Skican. Eastern-based skiers who know what a treat it is to have time away, who understand the dedication required to get to your mountain, and the pure joy that surely awaits. We have been, and are, in your shoes. We are: Shandelle, Catherine, Sylvie, Jeffrey, Chris, Adam, Dave, Brenna, Sarah, Dave, Grace, Jen, Andi, John and Karen. We look forward to working with you this season. Sincerely, Karen Nasmith, President VISIT WWW.SKICAN.COM TO GET YOUR REAL-TIME QUOTE. AIR AVAILABLE.

  • North of 60 Annual
    SSVP Western Region North of 60 Team Peter Ouellette Linda Wan Daryl Dietrich Lou Normand Stef Michniewski Katherine McKay Linda Tutt Mary Dunnigan Rita John Colleen Braun 1 | P a g e Executive Summary COVID gathering restrictions presented several problems for our team members in collecting food and other donations as well as in visiting the Arctic Communities. However, we consider the 2020 program again to be a success and a demonstration of our ability to grow. Our North of 60 program has gone National with members of our Society in Ontario supporting Communities in Nunavut, and Quebec Vincentians supporting those in need in Nunavik. Our Western Region focus is Northwest Territories where we supported nine Communities this year. We plan to continue the same food security support in 2020 with an increase volume at Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic. We again are grateful to our corporate benefactors who make this project financially viable. The warehouse and transportation logistics, food supply and household product donations continue to be strong. The COVID restrictions resulted in basically no food donations from parishioners, families, and friends. However, these loyal supporters provided cash donations that allowed for bulk purchases of the basic food security shipments to those in need in the Northwest Territories. This project is managed by a team of SSVP volunteers. There are no paid employees. Team members are assigned a Community and their role is to develop knowledge and most importantly rapport that allows for an accurate listing of the Community Highlighted are the Arctic Communities served needs as well as a confidence of fair distribution of product shipped.

  • Season Passes Compared Which Pass Is Best for You?
    Season Passes for 2021 - 2022 page 1 MOUNTAIN HIGH Season Passes SNOWSPORT CLUB Which pass is best for you? Season Passes compared Which option is best for you depends on how much you’ll ski and where. As a general rule, any of the season passes listed is worth the purchase if you will be skiing at least 6 or 7 days at the ski areas listed. Note that PACRAT racers will get discounted lift tickets at all 3 Mt. Hood ski areas on their race days. If you are a racer who only skis on race days, maybe you don’t need a season pass. Remember that Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline will be offering Spring Passes valid for almost 3 months of skiing in March, April and May, for about $139 - $160. So, for maximum variety, consider buying a season pass to one of them, and then at the beginning of March, buy a Spring Pass to the other. Vail Resorts has purchased the majority of ski areas in Colorado and many resorts elsewhere too, and they have raised their day lift tickets to somewhere close to $200. They don’t even publish a price list any more. Instead, you have to tell them which days you will be there, and they will then quote you a price for those days. Aspen, Snowmass and related resorts united under the IKON pass are just slightly more affordable for day tickets. See comparison chart on next pages.

    THE SWISS VILLAGE RESORT and a biography of its creator GERRY MONOD (1914-1980) A pioneer skier in Banff, Sunshine Village and Silver Star Winter Mountain Resort Watercolour painting by Edward Goodall Written by Alys Monod in July 2008 THE SWISS VILLAGE RESORT and a biography of its creator GERRY MONOD (1914-1980) A pioneer skier in Banff, Sunshine Village and Silver Star Winter Mountain Resort Written by Alys Monod in July 2008 The history of the Swiss Village Resort in Oyama, B.C. and a personal memoir of Gérard Monod, better known as Gerry Monod, whose dream it was to build the resort. I have also included many pictures that might better tell his story. I have added a few local names but have to leave out many of our resort friends’ names since they span over fifty years. After World War II, in May of 1947, a Swiss musician, Gerry Monod, immigrated to Canada. He had been working for three years at his uncle’s bank, Credit Suisse, in Geneva and practicing his jazz clarinet in the basement every chance he could! At night, he played in the orchestras of Rene Weiss, Teddy Stauffer and Bob Engel, recording for Radio Genève and Columbia Records. He was the featured singer and also played saxophone and percussion. He eventually formed his own orchestra, touring Europe. After working days and performing nights, he would move on to the jazz club scene, improvising until 4 in the morning! Stephane Grappelli was a friend and his revered heroes were people like Coleman Hawkins and Ella Fitzgerald.

    Site Guidelines For Development and Use Sunshine Village Ski Resort Banff, Alberta December 14, 2018 Site Guidelines for Development and Use Sunshine Village Ski Resort, Banff Alberta 2 Site Guidelines for Development and Use Sunshine Village Ski Resort, Banff Alberta 3 Message from Parks Canada’s Chief Executive Officer anada’s national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas protect some of Canada’s most inspiring, iconic and important parts of C Canada. Indeed, these special places make up one of the finest and most extensive systems of protected natural and cultural heritage areas in the world. The Government of Canada is committed to preserving our natural and cultural heritage, expanding the system of protected places, and contributing to the recovery of species-at- risk. At the same time, Parks Canada must continue to offer quality visitor activities and outreach programs so that Canadians and visitors from around the world can experience national parks and learn about our environment, history and culture. Managed responsibly, skiing is a valued part of the winter experience in the Rocky Mountain national parks, just as limited visitation to these areas forms part of summer experiences. The Sunshine Village Ski Resort Site Guidelines for Development and Use support this vision in that they represent a significant step toward ensuring ongoing protection of Banff National Park, while supporting its unique appeal as a national park destination within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These site guidelines align with Parks Canada’s obligations under the Canada National Parks Act, and reflect key policy documents such as Parks Canada’s Ski Area Management Guidelines and the Banff National Park of Canada Management Plan.
