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.

Rules

General

The Leucan Ski Challenge in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean has a participatory component for a team of one to four participants and a corporate component for a team of four to eight participants.
To participate in the event, people under the age of 16 must have the disclaimer signed by a parent or legal guardian. This must be given to Leucan before the event (by mail, fax or email) or at the reception of the Leucan Ski Challenge, otherwise they will not be able to participate.
No excessive consumption, no bet between teams and no race between participants will be accepted.
Participants must provide their own equipment. It is possible to communicate with the centers in order to reserve rental equipment.
No team member can be substituted after the official start on the day of the Challenge.
Participants must use the chairlifts or queues identified for the Leucan Ski Challenge. In the event of a chairlift’s breakage, preventing the participants to complete the descent on time, points will still be awarded.
The start of the first descent of the Leucan Ski Challenge at the Valinouët must be done according to the instructions of the ski patrollers. A route between the plateau and the chairlifts will be shown to you and you will have to follow it in order to ensure the safety of all skiers.
The Leucan Ski Challenge team is committed to complying with the health measures issued by the Government of Quebec and the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ). In case of cancellation, the Challenge will not be rescheduled.
The Leucan Ski Challenge will take place on the date determined with Leucan’s project manager, even in the event of rain, as long as the conditions are deemed satisfactory and safe by the resort’s management. In case of cancellation, the Challenge will not be rescheduled.
Donations received and money returned after 10 a.m. on the day of the event will not count towards the grand prizes.
Teams that include a Leucan employee are not eligible to win prizes.
A team could lose a prize if a donation cheque is returned to Leucan due to lack of funds. To retain their title, members of the team will have to recoup the amount or pay it back themselves.
If a winning team includes a member under 16 years of age, the prize will be awarded to that participant’s parent or legal guardian.
The Valinouët has the right to withdraw the ticket from any participant who breaches the mountain's security code.
