Slush Cup on Canada’s Last Day of 2013-14
Published : 19-May-2014 08:24
It's the last day of the ski season at Canada's two still open ski areas – Sunshine near Banff in Alberta and Whistler in BC.
Sunshine Village will mark the end of their season with what they describe as, "The end of season party, to end all season parties," the 86th Annual Slush Cup party.
The event welcomes "crazy" skiers and snowboarders brave enough to ski or ride over a pool of ice cold, slush water, wearing their craziest and most original outfits.
Awards are given for biggest splash, best costume, and to those victorious few who make it across the ice pond.
Day skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the sunny weather, beer garden, and live music throughout the day. The event is open to everyone (non-skiers included) for the price of a gondola ticket up to the main village area (sunshine's unusual resort layout means you take the gondola from a valley car park up to the base area.
The event concludes Sunshine's long weekend activities which have included the final acts in its Spring Concert Series, the 6th Annual Bikini's and Boardshorts Ski & Ride in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the new Salomon SlushShine Rail Jam.
Sunshine Village received nearly 10 metres/30 feet of snow this season with a current settled base of 207 cm (6 ft 9 in).
