UPDATES ABOUT THE PROGRAM
(February 27, 2024)
It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you of the cancellation of the 2024 KCDSB Ski and Snowboard Program. Despite our best efforts and continued hope, the Colin Myles lift at Mt. Evergreen Ski Club remains inoperative, and we will not be able to host any sessions before the mentioned deadline of March 8.
We understand this news is disappointing, not only to our students but also to the entire KCDSB team. The Ski and Snowboard Program has always been a highlight of our winter activities, and its absence will be felt.
In line with our last communication, we want to assure you that all registration fees will be fully refunded. The process for these refunds will commence immediately. For any concerns or questions regarding the refund process, please contact us.
Thank you for your support and dedication.
(February 13, 2024)
We regret to inform you that the KCDSB Ski and Snowboard Program is currently on hold until the Colin Myles lift at Mt. Evergreen Ski Club is operational. We are actively collaborating with Mt. Evergreen Ski Club to stay informed about developments regarding the lift. If the lift becomes operational, and we can offer a minimum of two sessions before March 8, we will do so and adjust the cost of the program accordingly. If the program cannot run, a refund will be issued.
Registration forms and fees will be retained, and we will keep you informed of any updates.
We understand the disappointment this news may bring to our students and families, as we were eagerly looking forward to offering this much-anticipated program. Nevertheless, we remain hopeful that the lift will become operational, allowing us to enjoy a couple of fun ski Fridays before March 8.
Thank you for your continued support, and please watch for further updates.

Nurturing a Love of Winter and a Boost of Confidence
The KCDSB Ski and Snowboard Program is more than just winter sports; it's a gateway to a healthy lifestyle, packed with fun, skill-building, and confidence-boosting experiences. By engaging in skiing and snowboarding, students not only enjoy the exhilaration of gliding through the snow but also embrace the great outdoors, promoting physical fitness and well-being.
This program offers a unique opportunity to learn new sports, master balance and coordination, conquer the T-bar, and foster a sense of achievement. Beyond the slopes, students develop life skills such as perseverance, teamwork, and resilience, all while having a blast in a supportive and joyful environment.
