The Yellowknife Ski Club hosted a costume-themed ski event earlier this season, so why not host another one?

ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 what the club did this past Sunday as the All Ages Costume Ski hit the trails with another decent turnout of more than 80 people, according to Oyuka Bernabe, the eventSA国际影视传媒檚 organizer. The costumes ranged from superheroes to Harry Potter to sports-themed outfits with imagination as the only thing holding people back.

Bernabe, who organized the first of these events and who came dressed as Raggedy Ann, said it was originally supposed to be an event for just the boys known as Boys on Boards but it was opened up to everyone.

Just like the first event, the trails were free for people to use and everyone who showed up was entered into a draw for some door prizes. In addition to the action outside, there was some inside as Aroma Brewealis was passing out samples of some home-brewed beer.

SA国际影视传媒淢aking your own beer is popular and having them here gives them a chance to meet people in the community,SA国际影视传媒 said Bernabe.

Having so many people come out in costume was something she thought would be the case, she added.

SA国际影视传媒淭he first event, Chix on Stix, had a lot of people come out dressed up,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淏ut a lot of people missed out and so lots of people contacted me asking to come out and so people get to wear their Halloween costumes again. They get to enjoy some nice weather, too. No wind and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 the best part.SA国际影视传媒

The one thing Bernabe hoped for was that families simply had a good time and come back next year.

SA国际影视传媒淭he kids will go home and tell their parents that they had a great time and they make some nice memories,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淔or me, that would make me really happy.SA国际影视传媒
