Final GV Ski Weekend for 2011-2012 Season!

This weekend, over 100 Global Village students (that's right - two full buses of fun!) will be heading up to Whistler for the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival marking the end of the ski season. There will be a number of cool events happening to coincide with the festival, including free outdoor concerts, pro-level ski/snowboarding shows, bar parties, and giveaway contests!

It will be the last chance to ski or snowboard with the school during the 2011-2012 ski season, and many students are excited by the idea of being able to ski this month and head to the beach next month!

Check out the video below to see some of the festivities from last year's Whistler Ski and Snowboard Festival:
