MARCH BREAK AT BLUE PROMISES LOTS OF ACTIVITY FOR FAMILIES

On March 14th Blue Mountain is hosting nine non-stop days of family programming that is certain to keep kids and parents on the move. With near perfect snow conditions during this very wintery Ontario ski season, March Break promises loads of fun both on and off the slopes with over 15 entertainers booked to activate the Village day and night.

"March Break at Blue has something for every family", says Tara Lovell, PR Manager at Blue Mountain Resort. "All you have to do is pack up the car and make a short drive to enjoy a multitude of indoor and outdoor activities. There is a special midweek discounted lift ticket for those who want to enjoy our great snow conditions along with a variety of free and ticketed events including the Sony Snow Crown; one of Canada's largest freestyle ski and snowboarding championships."

The line-up off the slopes resembles summer at Blue Mountain with non-stop activity. Daily, guests will find live music on stage and in the many restaurants and bars, and there will be many interactive family shows including hula hooping, groove dancing, drumming, and the all-time favourite Birds of Prey Show. Fireworks will blast over the Mill Pond and young kids can enjoy face painting, or head inside to catch one of our twice daily free movies at The Westin Trillium House. Weather permitting, the five acre Mill Pond skating rink is open from 10am to 10pm for guests to enjoy along with the Resort's new Hike 'n Tube area that is popular with the under 10 crowd.

To cap off a jam-packed family holiday, two ticketed live shows are being held in the new Village Conference Centre including a Magic Show with Peter Meenie on Monday, March 16th and a performance by Juno Award Winner, family entertainer Fred Penner on Wednesday, March 18th.

"It really is one of the best weeks of the year at Blue." Says Patti Kendall, Marketing & Events Director, Blue Mountain Village. "With warmer temperatures and more sun in March it makes for a great experience on and off the slopes. It’s quite incredible how much you can do if you follow our 9-day schedule."

With an activity for every age and level of ability, Blue Mountain Resort and Blue Mountain Village are the premier choice for active, fun-seeking families looking for a memorable March Break vacation.  For more information on how to book your getaway and the complete 9-day events line-up, visit bluemountain.ca/marchbreak<http://bluemountain.ca/marchbreak>.
