2009 Prices

Unfortunately the BCMG has had to increase the cost of Winter Parties this year. Early Bird bookings have gone up $5 and regular bookings by $10. This has been due to the increasing cost of fresh food, fuel, transport and insurance. The BCMG's desire is to keep the costs of Winter Parties low, while still being able to maintain the chalet to a high standard.

Half Weeks!

The BCMG has decided to offer Half Week Winter Parties this year over the week 10 period. Two options are offered, from Saturday 29th August to Wednesday 2nd September and Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th September. Operating like a regular winter party, only shorter, they will offer great spring skiing for those who can only get a few days off work. Half weeks will not be available for any other winter party.
