Snowballs is helping you celebrate the winter months by offering two fun-filled weekends to enjoy, offering both winter activities and social networking.
The first trip of the season runs from January 28th to 30th in Banff. Roundtrip transportation is provided by their very own party-bus that is licensed to serve alcohol, alongside of their contingent of movies, prizes, and entertainment. The bus departs on the Friday evening in Edmonton, with a quick stop in Calgary on the way, and returns that Sunday evening.
According to Aaron Churchill and Mike Stansberry, founders of Snowballs, this is a vacation for everyone to take pleasure in. "Skiers of all levels will find plenty of challenges and excitement in Banff, on both downhill slopes. Non-skiers who enjoy other winter activities, or who simply prefer a relaxing week in the mountains [after] the usual hectic holiday rush, are equally welcome."
Banff has plenty of other activities to enjoy, even if you’re not much of a skier. You will be staying in a comfortable hotel that offers a hot tub to relax in, in walking distance from restaurants, shopping, and the excitement of downtown Banff.
Downhill skiers can enjoy both the Lake Louise Mountain Resort and the Sunshine Village Resort. There is even an opportunity to learn how to snowboard, or sign up for a lesson. Both of these resorts are world renowned and offer hills for beginners, intermediates, and experts.
There is plenty of opportunity for those that are travelling alone to make new friends. According to organizers, there are already singles signed up, and a fun night is planned at the Dancing Sasquatch Night Club on Saturday night.
Prices for the weekends are on a per-person basis and cover round-trip transportation, two nights accommodation, and lift tickets at both hills. A continental breakfast provided each of the mornings that you will be travelling to and from the resorts on the bus.
Double Occupancy runs for $395.00 per person, triple occupancy $375.00, and quadruple occupancy at $355.00. If you don’t want to ski at Lake Louise a $50.00 discount applies, and if you feel the same about Sunshine you will get a $25.00 discount and a gondola pass. Final payments are due immediately.
Trip number two falls on the weekend of February 11th to 13th. The Snowballs Jasper Pride Weekend includes round trip transportation from Edmonton (fully licensed of course), two nights accommodation at Chateau Jasper which includes complimentary WIFI, two lift tickets at Marmont Basin, and access to Snowballs hospitality room, discounts on activities, dining and shopping, and all other fees and taxes.
You can add the Snowballs entertainment option for only $75.00 and this includes a continental breakfast each day in the Snowballs hospitality room, and a Prime Rib and Chicken Buffet dinner Saturday night, as well as the Jasper Pride Weekend entertainment ticket for Saturday night.
Once again, pricing is on a per-person basis. Single occupancy is $450.00, double occupancy $350.00, triple occupancy $330.00, and quadruple occupancy is $320.00. If you prefer to arrange your own accommodations, you can opt for the Snowballs Bus only option at a lower price of $90.00.
