Ikon Group Sale Pass continues…but not for long!!

Our Group Sale for Ikon Passes will be coming to an end on September 6 at 5pm. Lots of info here.

We have had a great response, and are poised to award a refund equivalent to an Ikon Base Pass to SIX lucky members!

The Ikon Pass can be used for unlimited skiing at Blue Mountain and Tremblant, with no blackouts.

If you have already purchased a 5×7 Pass for Blue, but are thinking maybe you would have been better off getting the Ikon Pass, note that you can get a full refund for the 5×7 by telling Blue the order number for your Ikon Pass. It’s easy!

Long Trips News

We were all heartbroken to see such devastation to such a beloved and iconic destination as Jasper, Alberta. Although many residents very sadly lost their homes, our tour operator has confirmed that there was no damage to the Crimson Hotel or the Marmot Basin ski resort. We firmly believe that it will help the town recover if tourism continues, and at this point plan to do our part by continuing with our trip to Jasper in March 2025. 

Spots have been added on the Panorama early start trip and optional Ski With the Pros course. Sign-up for the added spots and the rest of our Western Canada trips will be held on Thursday, September 26 at 8 pm sharp. Sign up for overnight bus trips on Thursday, October 24, also at 8 pm sharp. Check out our website for more information. Full details available later in the summer. You can’t beat the wide variety of HPSC trips. There truly is something for everyone!

President’s Message – The Excitement Builds!

I don’t know about you, but this time of the year for me has always been one of building excitement. When I was child, this was the CNE time and everything that offered, as well as looking forward to the beginning of school. I still get that sense of excitement as we count down to the beginning of September. 

September 1 marks the beginning of our membership year. The good news is that we are not raising membership fees this year. The early bird renewal rate till October 31 remains at $155 (plus HST). This is also the new member rate for the entire year. As of November 1 the renewal rate is $170 (plus HST). 

September also marks the beginning of our SkiFit and Brunch program on Saturday mornings in High Park. This is a great opportunity to get moving prior to the ski season, to meet up with old friends or to make new ski club friends.  All are welcome and we have programs for all levels of fitness.    

The fall also kicks off our social events season – we are planning some fun socials for our club’s 75th anniversary year.  Please continue to read SnoBiz and checking the website for information. 

As we prepare for the season we are also reaching out to our members to gain feedback about the club. If you have not done so yet, please participate in our membership survey that was emailed out this past weekend.  You can also click on this link  to access the survey. 

This is the last of our summer editions of SnoBiz.  The next edition will be on August 28th which will then begin our schedule of bi-weekly editions until the end of April. 

I am sincerely looking forward to meeting and chatting with as many of you as possible over the next few months. 

Cheers!

Justin Graham

President, High Park Ski Club
