VASS Corporate Cup

Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports held the 2nd Annual VASS Challenge Cup yesterday at Grouse Mountain. Today I saw some of the results of the event in video... and was really touched.

The promotional video was created by Giant Ant Media:



Dave Norona, one of Vancouver's most notorious adventurers, created this beautiful video highlighting his experience at the event. His adaptive teammate is a young boy named Karl who lost two of his brothers and was rendered paraplegic in a motor vehicle accident here in Vancouver not long ago. I quickly found myself moved to tears sitting at my desk this morning.



And here's another great video showing the excitement of the day.



Congratulations to all the teams who participated!

Y2Play 2009/10 Winter Season Passes are here!

I know you've been waiting for this moment if only for the sheer number of people searching our site for Y2Play. Well it's back. Yes, Vancouver's favourite snow pass - the Y2Play 2009/10 Winter Season Pass - is back in action for another year - this one taking you all the way through to the end of the 2009/10 winter season. Not only that, but 20% of this year's limited number of passes have already sold in the first 3 days.

If you want to get out on the hill and enjoy some of these great spring skiing conditions we've been enjoying, think about buying a Y2Play pass instead of a lift ticket. It is the best value season pass on the market, providing a season and a half of skiing or snowboarding for up to 80% off the regular pass price (and that's this year's regular pass price we're using to make the comparison). If you buy your pass today, you can use from the moment you pick it up right through the end of the current winter season, and then again from October 1, 2009 through April 2010. And, since Grouse Mountain is not an official Olympic venue, we won't be closing our doors or... er, turnstiles during the Games.

We are also offering a series of exciting incentives this year - worth noting is the $35 credit for every purchaser to put towards an Air Grouse Mountain Zipline experience! I was thrilled to have a sneak peek at the Phase TWO lines 4 and 5 just a couple of weeks ago. Here is the video from line #5 from Dam Mountain to The Peak. VERY fun!



Also, if you buy online you'll get a complimentary lift ticket to use over the next season and a half so you can bring a friend.

Please do not miss this. Every year we sell out and every year there are those who wish they'd heard about it... so tell your friends and don't let them get caught out. Join our email list, sign up for mobile alerts, follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook... whatever works for you, just make sure you don't miss this.

Friends don't let friends miss Y2Play.
