Ski Areas Ready for Star Wars Day

Several North American ski areas that are still open plan to celebrate the unofficial Star Wars Day tomorrow, May the Fourth (be with you).

Around 40 Canadian and US ski areas are still open with tomorrow the last day of the season for about 15 of them.

Some are going more Star Wars than others, with Banff’s Sunshine Village in Alberta, Canada, where there’s still another fortnight of the season left to run, one of the most keen, offering lift discounts to those who get fully engaged.  

“This May fourth, join us on the slopes to celebrate Star Wars Day! For the past few seasons, our slopes have come to life on May the 4th as fans dress in character and bring the spirit of Star Wars to life, on the slopes of Banff Sunshine,” a spokesperson for the centre said.

Those who do embrace their inner Star Wars fanatic and ski or ride the slopes of Banff Sunshine dressed as their favourite Star Wars character will save $30 on a full price lift ticket (Adult, Senior or Youth).

Skiers and boarders must be in full costume (head to boots) to qualify for a discounted full-day lift ticket.

Besides the lift pass discounts Sunshine’s Creekside will be serving up Baby Yoda (Grogu) pancakes and Jedi Drinks tomorrow.
