There’s a new multi-day event coming to Vancouver, and we want you to be a part of its inaugural year!
City and Slope is a four-day destination event held at Vancouver’s local mountains, Grouse, Cypress and Seymour, and within its vibrant downtown core. The event is broken into two parts:
City - Focusing on free and paid cultural and music-related events within Vancouver’s outdoor and indoor venues.
Slope – Focusing on winter sport activities on Vancouver’s three local mountains, all of which have agreed to partner together to provide one convenient bundled pass for the traveler. Grouse Mountain will also be presenting 24 Hours of Winter on Feb 11th and 12th, where all of Grouse’s facilities, from skiing to dining, will be in full operation all night long. Ever wanted to ski down Grouse while watching the sunrise over Vancouver? Now you can!
The exclusive discounts to City and Slope will be available through www.cityandslope.com, which will allow guests to book their hotels and festival activities directly through the user-friendly booking system.
On top of the All Mountain Bundle Pass, City and Slope will also bring popular Vancouver attractions (such as Karv, Illuminate Yaletown & Science World Illumination) together to showcase just what Vancouver has to offer in February.
If that wasn’t enough, Live Nation and Blueprint Events have also partnered with City and Slope to bring four days of a wide variety of music to Vancouver, culminating with a massive electronic music concert titled Electric Avalanche, which will see Benny Benassi, international superstar DJ, play to 6,000 guests at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
The dates are confirmed, the motions are set, and all we need now is you!
