Read detailed overview
Over six Wednesdays, when the slopes are wide open, our deluxe coaches take you to the Laurentians' finest ski centres. For 2027 Snowhawks features two visits to Mont Tremblant, two visits to Mont Blanc, one visit each to Sommet St-Sauveur and Ski Garceau. Register for the Flex Pack and select any four Wednesday outings. There's no need to pre-select, just show up for the four outings of your choice; and if you use up all four, you can add a 5th or 6th Wednesday afterwards at deeply-discounted member pricing. Whether expert, advanced, intermediate or novice, Snowhawks Instructors guide skiers over the most suitable terrain. Enjoy meeting and skiing with others at a speed that's right for you, while improving at a pace with which you are comfortable. After lunch, you may wish to free ski, but our instructors are at your service for more mileage in groups, or one-on-one tips… the choice is yours! You may also select the no-lesson option at a discount of $120, yet still buddy up with others for skiing, plus join in on our après ski gatherings. The no-lesson option is also available to snowboarders, as we do not offer snowboard instruction on Wednesdays. Leave the driving to the motor coach chauffeurs. Morning coffee & tea served on our coaches sets the tone for the day. And we include après ski refreshment for a perfect end to your ski day… Several coaches serve the Wednesday Adult Getaway, with departures from the Glebe, South-Ottawa, West-Ottawa, Manotick, Kanata, Orleans and Gatineau. Try before you buy! First-time Wednesday members may "test-drive" the program by joining us for one visit to Mont Blanc on Wed, January 6th. Then, if you choose to continue, you may pay the balance of a four-day Flex Pack membership. Register online for the Try before you buy option, or contact Snowhawks to discuss the program.
