Ski and Snowboard Social Days

In partnership with

Ski and Snowboard Social Days are a fun, laid-back way for Indigenous riders to come together and enjoy the slopes of our local mountains.

These gatherings are all about community, creating space to connect, share stories, and ride together in a supportive environment. Day passes are provided, making it easy to join in, whether you’re here to carve, cruise, or simply have a good time with friends on the mountain. All skill levels are welcome as we celebrate our shared love for the outdoors and strengthen our riding community.

Please note that lessons are not provided. Participants should be intermediate to advanced riders who can comfortably complete a blue run.
