Vancouver (BC), Canada – Still suffering from post-2010 Olympic Winter Games withdrawal? Relief is close at hand, thanks to Tourism British Columbia’s BC Ski Games Contest that blends one lucky winner, seven friends and the choice of one of 13 British Columbia ski resorts. An added bonus? During one day of friendly competition, Olympic gold medalists, and local sweethearts, Ashleigh McIvor and Maëlle Ricker will be on hand to provide elite coaching for the BC Ski Games winner and his or her entourage.nWhile ensconced at their chosen resort, the crew will be able to hone their on-mountain ski or snowboard edge with lift tickets and rentals each day, and prime après ski skills while noshing on local menus. Both skill sets will be required on event day, which boasts a roster of spirited challenges in three alpine resort disciplines: a ski and/or snowboard race, a non-ski/snowboard winter sport competition (e.g. snowmobiling) and, finally, the fan favorite après ski event (think: hot tub).

The complete prize package for eight includes five full days at the resort, four nights accommodation, flights, lift tickets, equipment rentals and plenty of outdoor play. For more information or to enter, visit www.BCSkiGames.com.
