Apex Mountain Resort and five Okanagan ski resorts have teamed up to entice Ontario residents to the area for Family Day.
Big White Ski Resort, Silver Star Mountain Resort, Sun Peaks Resort, Revelstoke Mountain Resort and Apex Mountain Resort are working with a new Canadian travel company to offer lower fares over Spring Break to Ontario travellers.
2015 has been a banner year for snowfall in the Okanagan, it has also brought about an exciting new partnership for skiers looking for a world class family experience that is still available during this year’s spring break season.
“For those living in Ontario who have not yet decided on where to spend their Spring Break, the five B.C. ski resorts are including the most aggressive airfares we’ve seen in a long time during the typically high priced spring break season, courtesy of NewLeaf and Flair Airlines.” said Michael J. Ballingall, chairman of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) and senior vice-president of Big White Ski Resort Ltd. “We invite guests to take advantage of this great travel offer and enjoy the winter fun, accommodations and hospitality of our renowned ski resorts. The packages are extremely high value because they include accommodations, lift tickets, ground transportation and the new low-priced airfares.”
The NewLeaf Kelowna/Okanagan Ski Program will initially focus on a seven night/six day spring break trip from Hamilton to Kelowna (March 14 to 21), with other cities to follow. All flights will land at the convenient Kelowna International Airport. If not already included in the ski package, shuttle options to all of the resorts are available at the airport.
Apex Mountain Resort is offering 50 per cent off full-day lift tickets for Family Day on Feb. 9, all riders need to do is show their B.C. drivers licence or other proof of residency.
Free hot chocolate and marshmallows will be handed out around the fire from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tube Park on Feb. 8.
