YA Retro Ski Day in Lake Louise!

Mike and Bonnie Lang went skiing to celebrate their fourth anniversary. Watch this video to get an idea of how much fun you can have!

YACC and Wellspring have been working with some of other partners in Alberta to coordinate a day of skiing for young adult survivors at Lake Louise. We are more than excited to be a part of this day, and we hope you're able to make it!

Mike Lang, key player in the event's organization, sent us the following message with all the details:

Well, the weather is getting a little warmer but it is still snowing like crazy up in the mountains--that means we should probably go skiing! Lake Louise has graciously donated 16 lift tickets and rentals (if you need them) for us to get out for a day in the mountains!

A necessary part of spring skiing is wearing most ridiculous ski suit possible (preferably circa 1970-1990, the skin tight, florescent color type) and then yelling and hollering obnoxiously while aggressively skiing slow, slushy snow, getting goggle tans, and hanging out on the patio.

If this sounds like a good time to you, then you better sign up quick as we only have 16 spots.
