Mt. Timothy hosting birthday bash
Ken Alexander Free Press
Mt. Timothy Ski Area is celebrating its silver anniversary this year and the 25th birthday bash is scheduled for March 10 on the hill. As is the case with most memorable birthday parties, there will be prizes, games, food and a children’s colouring contest at the day lodge. The celebration’s Rad Retro Day gets underway at 9 a.m. and will include some great fun activities all day long and there will be a hotdog and hamburger barbecue on the deck of the day lodge. This birthday will see best-dressed prizes handed out for those who show up in their finest ski wear from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and the ’90s. To kick things off, lift costs are going retro at $25 for adults, instead of the normal $40. While you’re there on the hill, be sure to play Tim’s Challenges for chances to win a season’s pass. Hill manager Adam Piccolo says all of the staff is looking forward to the anniversary party and they have a lot of great events planned to involve every member of the family. Noting there will be a couple of fun contests that will see the winners win season’s passes, he says the first will be the frozen T-shirt Smash and it takes place on the deck at 2:30 p.m. “We’re going to get the T-shirts soaking wet, twist them up and put them in the freezer. The first person who gets it on will win a season’s pass. “One of the director’s came up with the idea. We will charge a $25 entry fee and everyone gets to keep their shirts at the end.” It seems like a fun idea and I don’t think it will be easy, Piccolo says, adding it will take place on the deck of the day lodge. People will have to register for the contest at guest services in the day lodge and he notes they will only have 30 shirts to give away. The second opportunity to win a season’s pass will involve a scavenger hunt and the winner will need to answer 25 questions. “They will have to answer questions and find certain things around the ski area. There will be stuff inside the day lodge, stuff on the mountain and on the lift. “We won’t be charging anything for the scavenger hunt and registration starts at 9 a.m. in the new building and the scavenger hunt starts at 10.” Piccolo says they will also have 25 rubber ducks hidden around the mountain and they will be numbered and the finder will win the

corresponding prize. “Celebrating 25 years, we have to have something special going on. If you find a duck, bring it in to guest services and you win a prize.” They will be cutting a cake in the shape of a mountain and will be cutting it around the time of the T-shirt smash. Folks will also be able to walk through the new building where staff will have a mock setup that will show people what it will look
like next season. The chairlift will be operating from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., and area families are encouraged to come out and take advantage of the great snow conditions and great fun – who knows, you could also be taking home a great prize.
