Let’s Help our Friends at Larch Hills!

October 17, 2019 Posted by Mike Edwards

Larch Hills Nordic is a finalist in Kraft Heinz Project Play 2019. They could win $250,000 towards a trail lighting project but they need the entire ski community to get behind them and vote. In 2016 Canada’s ski community got behind Nakkertok Nordic’s Project Play bid and they won $250,000 for a snow making project. We can do the same now to help Larch Hills. Helping each other can only make skiing stronger in BC and it builds good karma too.

Voting takes place on the Kraft Heinz Project Play website from 9am Friday Oct 18th to 9am Sunday Oct 20th. Multiple votes are allowed and encouraged. Please consider spending up to an hour this weekend putting in as many votes as you can.
