It’s an exciting time here at Brimacombe!

Not only are we celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Oshawa Ski Club, but the financial success of the past couple seasons has also allowed your Management Team and Board of Directors to move ahead with growth plans for your Club’s future success.

As a first step in this long-term plan, we have committed to the purchase and installation of a new fourth chairlift to be installed in the Standard run area. Our goal is to install the new chair as soon as this coming Summer 2012, but we need your help to ensure we meet this goal. The approximate cost of a new quad chair is $1.6 million. We have already saved about $1 million towards this project, and only need to earn the additional $600,000 this winter to make a new chair a reality this coming summer. We can do this with your support!

You’ve probably heard us say it before, but in case you haven’t I’ll say it again, “Every dollar spent here, stays here!” As a not-for-profit ski and snowboard area, every dollar you spend on-site at Brimacombe is invested back into the facility, contributing to projects such as our new chairlift. It makes supporting your facility easy, and in fact most of you have been doing it already!

Let’s work together to raise the remaining funds and secure a new chairlift by Summer 2012.

Here are four easy ways you can help:

1. Bring someone new to Brimacombe
Do you know someone who would love skiing or snowboarding at Brimacombe? Take the initiative and invite them to try our slopes. Not only could you gain a new ski buddy, but every rental, lift ticket and membership sold also contributes to the purchase of our new chairlift.

2. Shop at Brimacombe’s Slopeside Retail Store
The next time you’re shopping for equipment, apparel and accessories, visit Brimacombe’s Slopeside Retail Store with one location only, conveniently located at the base of Brimacombe. Not only will you discover excellent selection and competitive pricing, but every hard-earned dollar you spend will also support the installation of our new chairlift. No other shop can do that, because Brimacombe does not operate a store in the hamlet of Kirby, Oshawa or any other town!

3. Book a lesson
Is there someone you know who wants to learn to ski or snowboard, or could you yourself use a refresher? Not only will a lesson increase the likelihood that a new skier or snowboarder will stick with the sport, but every lesson booked at Brimacombe’s award winning Snow School will also contribute dollars towards our new chairlift!

4. Treat yourself to lunch
Take advantage of Brimacombe’s on-site food services at the East and West Chalets, as well as the Snack Hut at the top of Standard. Every food and beverage purchase helps raise funds for our new chairlift and meet our goal to have it installed by Summer 2012.

The enthusiasm and support of our members is what has made the Oshawa Ski Club, now Brimacombe, so amazing these past 75 years. On behalf of your Board of Directors and Management Team, thank you so much for your continued support this season as we continue to grow and work together to raise funds to meet our goal of installing a new chairlift by the coming Summer 2012.

It was another day in paradise!

GROOMER MAGIC

I just returned from a tour around the hill to assess the toll the rain has taken on the slopes. We have lost a few minor areas, but overall there is still ample snow to carry us through the March Break. Our talented grooming crew is preparing to head out and dig into our stock piles to work their magic. The weather looks good for the week ahead, we plan to be open 9am to 4:30pm Monday to Sunday, and Wednesday night 4:30pm to 10pm.

Our schedule ahead as posted on the home page is tentative and dependant on the weather and snow conditions....and of course daily attendance by you, our skiers and snowboarders. Don't let the poor weather this weekend stop you from enjoying the final days in the 2009/2010 season at Brimacombe.







Cheers,
Mark

Let the WEEKEND BEGIN!

What a nice day today! I spent the morning rebuilding the mogul field on Rutherford's Cut, do me a favor and SKI THEM UP this weekend!

Ric C. tracked me down this afternoon to take this photo recreating a scene from exactly 20 years ago today (see small picture in Ric's hand)...

!IMPORTANT NOTE!

Ladies Day Cancelled

It is with great disappointment that we announce the cancellation of Brimacombe's Ladies' Day for Bethesda House on February 22, 2010. While there seemed to be great interest around this event, it unfortunately did not materialize into the sale of tickets needed to hold the event. On behalf of Brimacombe and Bethesda House we would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets for their support.


Bethesda House continues to provide secure shelter, advocacy and support to women and their children in our area, empowering them to live free from fear, domestic abuse and oppression. For further details on how you can help this organization please visit www.bethesdahouse.ca.


If you purchased a ticket to this event, please visit the Main Office in the East Chalet for a full refund, or call 905.983.5983 to speak with a customer service representative.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and continued support!

See you on the slopes!

FAST Week

Where did that week go?

We saw some natural snow fall this week, not a lot mind you but enough to mix into the top layer of our surface and make things that much better!

Tonight marks the final "big" night of our week night school visits, we hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed having you here on the slopes again this year! Don't forget, your school trips might be over but there are still TONS of skiing and snowboarding opportunities to be had here at Brimacombe this season!
