NATIONAL PLAY HOOKY & SKI WEEK


National Play Hooky & Ski Week

Anyone heard of Liftopia? It’s an online way to buy discounted lift tickets to resorts in Canada and the USA. Savvy skiers and snowboarders can get up to 84 % off if they join in with National Play Hooky & Ski Week, March 4-8.

This is the second annual “hooky” week when over 100 North American resorts are offering deals at destinations such as Ski Banff Lake Louise Red MountainApex, and Owl’s Head in Canada. There are great deals across the USA too and snow is piling up everywhere now.

 “With continuous snowstorms hitting many resorts across the country, the second half of winter is shaping up to be a good one for skiers and boarders,” says Liftopia’s co-founder and CMO, Ron Schneidermann. “Now is the perfect time to forget work and school, pull out the excuses and plan a mountain getaway” – and take advantage of Ron’s “killer savings”!

Official proclamation for National Play Hooky & Ski Week:
Whereas the American worker has been experiencing undue stress in the workplace; and, whereas it is generally accepted that engaging in awesome activities outside of the workplace decreases undue stress; and, whereas skiing and snowboarding are proven to be awesome activities. Henceforth, it is proclaimed that the first Monday in March shall be the start of the second annual National Play Hooky & Ski Week.
