Join the 4th annual Slopes for Hope event in Kimberley
Slopes for Hope is a winter enthusiast event designed by local residents in support the Canadian Cancer Society.
In the past three years over $95,000 has been raised and this year’s event has a goal of $30,000 to be raised. Nine teams have been registered so far.
Event organizers are inviting Nordic skiers, alpine skiers, snowboarders and all people who love to play in the snow to join the fight against cancer as we take it to the slopes!
We are excited to grow the event this year with the addition of two more challenges. You can now participate in the following categories and ski Descending Everest (Alpine Event), Everest Trek (Nordic Event) or be a snow warrior and ski the Everest Warrior (combination of Alpine and Nordic Event.)
