Greco ill let u know i just have to get the rents to permit it and then figure out where i am going to get the money
SkaFreak
03-09-2005, 07:02 PM
Man, I really really want to go to this. I've never gotten to skiboard with someone better than me, and that's the best way to get better. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to get the $$ I need for airfare to get there, espescially since I kinda got fired from my job today, but we'll see if I can get there.

03-09-2005, 08:23 PM
I'm down. Not sure how many days I could go but I'm not that far from there. I've lived on the Canadian border off and on since '97 and can see Canada from where I'm sitting. I FINALLY have a reason to cross the border!

obviously i cannot make it to this event. just wanted to share my bit - think i caught last good-condition snow last night. it was actually my second time on slopes in latvia this season and i'm glad we did the italy event that sums up to most of my season ;)
Alex-TRS
03-17-2005, 08:03 AM
oh yeah, I'm totally in for april 2nd-3rd (the weekend)
you can buy lift tickets in advance on www.tremblant.ca
and save a few bucks.... from 5-14% on days from april 1st-6th.

the most of it.

Alex check your PM's.
that online ticket deal is only for residents with postal codes beginning with G, H, J and K, with valid proof of residence (i.e. driver’s license), may purchase these tickets. Municipal activity cards are not accepted as valid ID.
otherwise it's $55CAD which is $45US.

The TELUS SPIN 05
Mar 30 2005
Press Release
Mont-Tremblant, March 28, 2005 - Imagine a ten-day party marked by an array of extreme sports competitions, outdoor activities and concerts of all kinds. That's what awaits you on the slopes and in the village of Tremblant from April 1 to 10, during the third edition of the greatest snow sports and extreme sports festival in eastern North America, the TELUS SPIN 05 in collaboration with Coors Light. All the top snowboarders, new-school skiers and adrenaline addicts will compete for over $90,000 in prizes and bursaries in a variety of events. Our world ski and snowboard champions Mélanie Turgeon and Jasey-Jay Anderson will also be on site! In addition, there will be BMX and motocross demonstrations, outdoor concerts, and parties-in other words, an intoxicating atmosphere-everywhere at Tremblant!
The first weekend, festivities will kick off with a bang thanks to the Volkswagen Skiercross, presented by Atomic, in which the top winner will have the chance to drive away at the wheel of a superb 2005 Volkswagen GTI, while the girls will compete to win a spa valued at $8,000! The next day's Nintendo Boardercross will also be something to see, as it will be showcasing the talents of such participants as world snowboard champion Jasey-Jay Anderson.
Urban Jib: The Competition Makes Its Way into the Streets!
Wednesday, April 6, rail and box fanatics will gather on rue des Remparts starting at 8:00 p.m., for the totally wild Urban Jib. This novel event, to be held in Tremblant's pedestrian village, will be a show beyond compare-so many jumps and brand new manoeuvres-as the spectators watch from ringside seats, just a few metres away from the competitors.
New: The SPINE "I'm Loving It" - The festival will come to a spectacular finish with ski and snowboard competitions during the Sprite Super Pipe and the SPINE "I'm Loving It." These events, which will take place at Nintendo Park on the North Face and at the base of the South Face, respectively, are open to all participants 16 years and over. The last day, April 10, the 9-15 year-olds will join the action as well, thanks to the Junior Spin, which includes an adapted version of the SPINE, plus a mini-rail.
National One-Piece Day - On April 4, it's the One Piece for Half Price event! National One-Piece Day will be a colourful one. Slip into your old one-piece ski suit, fresh out of the mothballs, and Tremblant will give you 50% off your April 4 lift ticket. If the absurd doesn't kill you, it will at least provide you with discounts as well as a lot of memorable laughs!
Super Offers to SPIN All the Way!
For only $99, get yourself the Spin pass and enjoy unlimited spring skiing in the warm sun and soft snow from March 28 until closing, April 17 (some conditions apply). For more details about the event, scheduling and special offers, there's only one place to go here (http://ww1.tremblant.ca/spin/en/index.asp)
Greco

Conditions
*Royalty and taxes extras. Pass is valid from March 28th until the end of the ski season 2005. Regular season pass benefits do not apply. Only those with postal codes starting with the letters G, H, J or K (proof of residence and one valid photo ID card with address required) may purchase the Spin Pass. Spin Pass is non-transferable.

Greco
03-30-2005, 06:04 PM
bring your inline skates and skateboard!
Activities
TELUS SPIN 05 presents a wide range of activities in the village. Come try our Park "I'm loving it" with our installations for skate, rollerblade and BMX.
APRIL 1 to 10 / Place Saint-Bernard

Alex-TRS
03-30-2005, 10:28 PM
I'm sure to bring my skates =PP
only hope that the park is opened after the slopes are closed!
anyone else on this trip skating? I'd like some partners hehe
otherwise I'll have a go alone I guess...
as for hooking up G. that won't work as the buyer of tickets on Tremblant's website can only buy for himself/family and must show an identity card with photo.
and I believe they would ask for an identity card for everyone
getting the pass at the Moutain.... if you dont have the right
postal code then they charge you =(
