City and Slope Festival 2012

City and Slope is a four day mountain and music festival held in downtown Vancouver and its world-class mountains, Grouse, Cypress and Seymour. After you’ve spent a day immersing yourself in fresh snow, head on back to party downtown for the ultimate apres ski experience! No doubt many are looking forward to February 11th party hosted by Benny Benassi (with Sander Van Doorn & Arty) at the new Vancouver Convention Centre!

Vancouver is the only city in the world to feature three world-class skiing facilities within 25 minutes of its downtown sector, so City and Slope has put together an exclusive bundled pass that allows guests to enjoy access to all three mountains and save up to 20 per cent on mountain passes.

And to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the Olympic Winter Games and the splendor of winter in Vancouver, Grouse Mountain is presenting 24 Hours of Winter on Feb 11^th and 12^th, where a selection of facilities at Grouse, from skiing to dining, will be in full operation all night long.

In the city, the focus will be on cultural and music events, including illuminations in Yaletown and Telus World of Science; a day-long ice carving competition at Yaletown Park; animations at the Museum of Vancouver; and the Frostbite music series, where a host of performances will be showcased by partners The Adelphia Group, Live Nation and Blueprint Events, culminating in the Electric Avalanche - a 6,000 person music event featuring superstar celebrity DJ Benny Benassi at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
