Sexual health workshop targets younger women

THE NORTH Shore Women’s ‘Centre (NSWC) will present a workshop on sexual health education for young women on Wednesday, Oct. 18, as part of its Women’s Wednesday lec- ture series.

The workshop, “Taking Responsibility: Young Women and Sexual Health”, will be led by sexu- al health educator and education

director Ming Chiang of Planned Parenthood Association of B.C. Chiang will cover such topics as: how pregnancy can and cannot hap- pen: current birth control methods and what to consider when choosing one: which diseases, including AIDS, are transmitted sexually, and what to do to decrease your risk. The workshop takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the women’s centre, located at 3093 Lonsdale Ave..

Lift ticket savings

From page 25

Whistler works with Save-On- Foods, and while their ticket prices have not been finalized they are likely to be similar to Blackcomb’s. Groups buying in bulk get. cheaper tickets. For example, Blackcomb’s sales department has a rate card based on tickets ($52.43, including GST), and a group com- ing up for a day can buy 25 to 50 tickets at a unit price of $43.85 each: 51 to 100 are $41.75 each: and 101-plus cost $39.60 each. Group rentals range from 20% to 25% off and lessons are 10% to 15% off. o There are also group deals on barbecues and apres-ski at Merlin’s with reserved seating and videos of the day’s skiing. Sounds like your _bleck, school or office should form _ aski group and rent a bus. Tickets , can be ordered a month before or the day before. © Then there are Flex tickets which can be bought in bulk and used anytime. Prior to November 15 they are $43.80 for 25 to 100. Whistler, meanwhile, is featured on the BC Ski Card sponsored by BCTV. = | The idea is that skiers bny the card at any of five resorts —

.. Whistler, Cypress Bowl, Silver Star,

Red Mountain and Mt. Washington — for the equivalent of a day tick- et, but after that they get discounts up to 25% at any of the five moun- tains, Whistler card holders can renew for $39 before Oct. 22,:

BC Ski Cards wiil also be avail- able at the Vancouver Ski Show at BC Place Oct. 20- 22 at u discount of $7.50. Group buyers of 10 or more cards before Dec. | get $5 off each.

On the subject of cards, Blackcomb has just introduced the Blackcomb Resort Card which enables season pass holders to use passes as credit cards at participat- ing stores and restaurants. With the pass, skiers don’t have to carry cash or a credit card (all purchases will be billed to their card) although limits can be put on spending, such as on cards for children.

If this is all too rich or Whistler too far then there is good skiing on the North Shore mountains. Cypress Bowl charges $31 fora day ticket, but there are discount periods such as $26 from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Night skiing (7 p.m. to 1] p.m.) is $23, Books of four day tickets are $112 while eight tickets cost $217.

Cypress is also planning to sell tickets through Price Costco but rates had not been set at press time.

Mt. Seymour charges $26 on weekends and $18 during the week. On weekends the price drops to $24 after 1 p.m. and to $18 after 4 p.m.

Other than season passes Grouse

» Mountain is $29 every day.

Last word from Alicia Vennos, . marketing manager at Whistler Mountain: “There are really no rea- sons for anybody in Vancouver to pay full price fora ski ticket at Whistler.”
