Vallée du Parc

What is the Leucan Ski Challenge? It’s hours of ski or snowboarding and several activities at Vallée du Parc on March 16, 2024 from noon to 8 pm, but more specifically it’s a gesture of solidarity towards cancer-stricken children and their families. It’s also a fun, participative and family-oriented day open to people of all ages.

By registering for the Leucan Ski Challenge at Vallée du Parc, you can choose from one of these sports offered at the mountain:

  • Alpine skiing
  • Snowboard
  • Alpine hiking

Regular Challenge

In teams of one to four people, participants of all ages and abilities are invited to raise a minimum of $500 in donations to help children with cancer and their families. Each team must complete a cumulative number of runs equivalent to one run per hour per participant. For example, a team of 4 taking part in an 8-hour Challenge will have to complete a total of 32 runs during the day.

Corporate Challenge

A corporate component is also offered, enabling teams of four to eight people to take part in an excellent teambuilding activity! Team members will be asked to raise a minimum of $2,000 in donations. Each team must complete a cumulative number of runs equivalent to one run per hour per participant. For example, a team of 8 taking part in an 8-hour Challenge will have to complete a total of 64 runs during the day. Hours spent on teambuilding activities will be credited towards the day’s total.
