Slopes & Social: Banff-Canmore Winter Getaway (Shared Expense Trip)

Join the crew for a cost-split weekend at Tremblant. Slopes, hot tubs, and good vibes. We are kicking off go further with a simple mission: get good people together to do cool things.

We have secured a chalet for the four nights and have up to 6 spots available. We are running this trip purely at cost to fill the house, and build our community.

The Itinerary:

• Weds, Feb 4: Our flight leaves Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) at 7:45am, landing in Calgary International Airport (YYC) at 10:15am local time.
• From there we'll be picking up our rental car(s). If meeting in Calgary, we can pick you up from the airport, or arrange somewhere in the city. We'll grab a quick coffee/snack and head straight to Canmore for lunch, followed by our Airbnb check-in. The first evening will be an option to cook at the chalet or visit a local restaurant.
• Thurs, Feb 5-Sat, Feb 7: We'll have 3 full days of skiing combined at Lake Louise and Banff Sunshine - which can be decided based on conditions and group preference.
• During these days the car(s) will be dedicated to being at the ski resorts early enough to get in a full day (approx. 9am-3:30/4pm on the slopes). Note that driving time is 25-60+ minutes to get to the ski resorts from the chalet.
• Any other activities (apres ski in Banff town, hot springs, etc.,) will be planned outside of these times, unless otherwise agreed upon by the group. If you plan to go off group itinerary you will need to arrange for your own transportation.
• Sun, Feb 8: We'll check-out of our Airbnb at 11am. There will be a group option to stay in the Canmore area for lunch, or to spend time in the downtown Calgary area. Our departure flight back to Toronto is at 5:15pm, and will aim to arrive at the airport at approximately 3pm.
