Le Valinouët

What is the Leucan Ski Challenge? It’s 8 hours of ski or snowboarding and several activities at Le Valinouët on March 23, 2024 from 8 am to 4 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 opened to people of all ages.

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 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 will have to 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.
