To all SS Freestyle members,

2020 Freestyle Raffle is set to begin.  This is an important fundraiser as it has the potential to raise $10 000 for the club if every ticket is sold.  Last year we raised over $8000, but we believe we can raise the $10 000 as the prizes are amazing and the price of each ticket is only $5!  We are very thankful to the following club sponsors for the prizes they have provided. 

1st PRIZE

Silver Star Mountain Family Ski Pass Courtesy of Silver Star Mountain Resort, Vernon, BC skisilverstar.com Approx. Retail Value: $2100

2nd PRIZE

$1000 Gift Card from Sun Country Cycle Courtesy of Sun Country Cycle, Vernon, BC suncountrycycle.com Retail Value: $1000

3rd PRIZE

1 Pair of Handmade to Order Skevik Skis Courtesy of Skevik Skis, Vernon, BC skevikskis.com Approx. Retail Value: $1000

4th PRIZE

2 Vancouver Canucks Tickets and Hotel Accommodation for March 27 game (Vancouver vs. Calgary) Courtesy of Buy Low Foods Approx. Retail Value: $1000

With over 200 registered freestyle skiers in the club we do not even need every skier to sell 1 booklet of 10 tickets. We are asking that every family sells at least one booklet, but know that many families are going to want several booklets to sell since the prizes are so great! 

Raffle Booklet Pick-Up and Return:

Please collect your raffle ticket booklets in the brown bag room at Silver Star starting Saturday January 18 and Sunday January 19 from 8:00-9:00am. 

In order to return a raffle booklet, ALL TICKETS IN THE BOOKLET MUST BE SOLD.  Returns, with money will be collected each Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-9:00am in the brown bag room at Silver Star starting Saturday January 25 and 26 with the last possible date to hand in tickets and money on Sunday Feb 16.

Draw Date:

February 17, 2020, at the Silver Star Mountain National Altitude Training Centre, SilverStar Mountain Resort BC V1B 3M1, on Silver Star Road

Thanks for your participation and support for the Silver Star Freestyle Club.

Luke Friesen, Director
