As I once again grabbed my rental snowboard and headed out of the lodge at Snow Valley, it dawned on me that it had been 2 weeks since I last stepped on a board and that I had not even practiced once since the last lesson. Fingers crossed this was going to go well!

I grabbed my rental board and headed out to the lesson flag unsure about what to expect for my first snowboard lesson at Snow Valley Ski Club. I haven’t stepped on a snowboard in years! Where was I supposed to go? Who was my instructor? How many times was I going to fall?

SnowSeekers has been here on the hill quite a bit lately following the stories of Amber Grant and her experience with the Ladies Night program, and Sheri Landry as she overcomes her fear to be able to ski with her daughter.

Happy Holidays everyone! December 13 to 24, Snow Rider (located behind guest services) will be offering some crazy deals to help make your Holiday shopping a little bit easier.

WIN A SNOWBOARD!

Dec 14 is Snowboard Appreciation Day, and we are giving away some snowboards to celebrate!

First chair

We are excited to announce that Snow Valley Ski Club is officially open for the 2019-20 season! A crew of 4 eager snowboarders, including Easy Rider’s Warren Currie were at the hill before 9 am to make sure they were the first at the top of the quad chair on opening day!

SNOW VALLEY TODDLER PLAY AREA

Snow Valley Ski Club is pleased to announce plans to develop a Toddler Play Area that will be ancillary to its existing Aerial Park. This play area will consist of approximately three small play elements that will have a natural aesthetic. It will be located adjacent to the Aerial Park within the grounds of the Rainbow Valley Campground.

This is what some people do when they visit Chatter Creek, B.C.

Get ready for the 2019-20 snow season with some new or new-to-you gear! Snow Valley Ski Club and Snow Valley Racing Association proudly present our annual ski swap to get you started.

TOP 10 REASONS TO TAKE A LESSON

1.    Skiing is “scientifically” proven to make you happier  – Studies have shown that just 15 minutes outside in nature can seriously reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. Better yet, only 45 minutes of fresh air can increase your cognitive performance. Now, just imagine the benefits you can gain from an entire day outside in Edmonton’s beautiful River Valley Park system?
