The Send Off & Slush Cup

Spring at the resort hits different; soft turns, sunny patios, costumes, and just the right amount of chaos.

Join us for the ultimate season send-off weekend packed with live music, wild outfits, and the legendary Slush Cup. Grab your crew, break out the retro gear, and let’s close winter in style.

April 4th, 2026: The Send Off 

Village Centre | 12:30 PM – 5:30 PM

This is your official warm-up to Slush Cup — a high-energy village party that feels like your perfect apres all day long. 

The Village Centre comes alive with live music, dancing, and end-of-season vibes as we celebrate an incredible winter together.

• Three live bands bringing feel-good spring sounds
• MC + DJ keeping the energy high between sets
• Best Dressed Costume Contest – $500 in prizes
• Beer garden for patio-style après
• Food stations serving up crave-worthy eats

Think tropical shirts, neon one-pieces, tutus over ski boots, or full-send retro, the bolder the better. If there’s ever a day to overdress for the hill, this is it.

Come dance, soak up the sun, and toast to the season with friends old and new. Spectating is free for all of our guests! Doors open 12:15pm.

Artist Lineup:

Bella Cat

Blending R&B, funk, blues, and pop, Bella Cat delivers high-energy performances that pull audiences straight onto the dance floor. Known for her electric stage presence, Bella turns every show into a celebration, often mixing in bold touches of drag and burlesque for a little extra sparkle. With a raspy voice reminiscent of legends like Etta James, Amy Winehouse, and Tina Turner, Bella Cat brings raw soul, big personality, and a whole lot of fun to the stage.

 

 

Mivule

Mivule is an eight-piece Vancouver band bringing serious groove to the mountain. Mixing roots reggae, Afrobeat, dub, jazz, and funk, they create a sound that’s built for movement and good vibes. Fronted by South Sudanese/Ugandan singer Brian Baroda, the band blends uplifting messages of peace, justice, and love with infectious rhythms in English and East African languages. With a blazing horn section and nonstop energy, Mivule’s live shows feel less like a concert and more like a full-on celebration.

 

 

The Boom Booms

The Boom Booms are a BC band that’ll crank the energy all the way up! Blending folk, reggae, rock, Latin, and soul, their sound is all about big grooves, sing-alongs, and dancing with your crew. These lifelong friends have been playing together since 2008 and are known for turning every show into a high-energy celebration. After touring across Latin America, Europe, and festivals across Canada, The Boom Booms hit the stage ready to get the crowd moving and the good vibes flowing.
