Interested in Hosting an SCG Event? Here’s What You Need to Know
We’re looking for energetic, enthusiastic trip hosts for our upcoming 2025/2026 season—and we’d love to have you on the team. Hosting is a great way to add your own flair to our outings, create memorable experiences, and help build the SCG community. You can plan themes, organize activities, coordinate group meals—the possibilities are endless.
If you’re hosting an overnight trip, please note that Event Hosts are expected to stay in the SCSC-sponsored accommodation.
We reserve the right to edit event postings to ensure accuracy of information, dates, and details.
Setting Up an Event
Once the Organizer has provided posting access, go to Schedule and begin entering your event details.
Include useful links where possible, such as snow forecasts or resort websites.
Before publishing, double-check all event details (including the date) at least twice. If you need help, contact info@skicalgary.com
Meeting Locations & Carpooling
For Petro-Canada Highway 1:
The balloon marks the gas station. Advise participants whether you intend to meet at the south end of the road or the north end of the parking lot. Ask everyone to keep their hazard lights on.
Carpool Tips:
• Ask who is willing to drive (winter tires required).
• Encourage participants to gather beside the driver they would like to join.
• Have people share their ability level and preferred terrain.
Common carpool locations include:
• Shouldice Park (south end)
• North end of the access road off Highway 1/22
You may also choose your own location or meet directly at the venue.
No need to wait more than five minutes for late arrivals.
Carpool costs will vary depending on fuel prices and vehicle type.
Creating a Daily Plan
It’s helpful to set clear meeting times and locations for the group.
Examples:
Lake Louise:
• Meet by the fireplace at 9:00 AM
• Lunch at Temple Lodge backside at 12:15 PM
• End-of-day plans at your discretion
Sunshine Village:
• Start at Goat’s Eye or the Day Lodge stairs at a set time
• Lunch at Goat’s Eye at a specified time
• End-of-day gathering at Creekside Pub at 4:00 PM
Anyone who RSVPs “Yes” agrees to the Waiver and Code of Conduct posted under Pages. Hosting doesn’t require you to keep the group together all day—simply help participants connect with others of similar skill levels.
Communication
Provide your cell number either in the event posting or ahead of time via email through Manage Event.
After your event, please share your feedback—both successes and challenges—with Andrea. If you are unable to host, notify us so we can find a solution and keep the event running.
You may also send attendees a short “Great to see you!” message afterward.
