Brimacombe invites families to join them for Brimfest, a fun weekend full of wintery celebrations… both on and off the slopes! Enjoy a weekend of skiing and snowboarding, along with special events, at Durham Region’s largest ski & snowboard area.
Presented by KX96 New Country FM, 94.9 The Rock & CKDO 107.7 Durham’s Classic Hits, you will find food and music, après-ski events, themed activities, prizes and giveaways, and more fun-filled activities for the whole family. So, mark your calendars for Brimfest because you won’t want to miss it!
All weekend long, families can partake in activities for kids, including crafts and colouring, complimentary face painting, complimentary bonfire and s’mores, free cotton candy, and competitions on the slopes for kids aged 12 and under. The two-day party also features fashion and games, ski/snowboard races, parties, giveaways, and of course, gnarly skiing and snowboarding, too!
