This winter, the GSS is encouraging UBC graduate students to get out there and enjoy our city’s wonderful local slopes (safely, of course!) through the Mountain Subsidy Program.
From February 1 – March 5, 2022, enjoy a 50% subsidy on any day pass to one of these locations:
What are you waiting for? Head out, enjoy the snow and fresh air on the slopes (in a pandemic-friendly manner), and share your visit with the grad community on social media using the hashtag #GSSGoesOutside.
