As 2008 draws to a close, Canadians everywhere are beginning to think about their New Year's resolutions. In 2009, one of the most popular promises that we will all be making to ourselves is to stay active and healthy.

For years, skiers and snowboarders everywhere have been turning to the slopes for a fun and exciting way to spend time with their family and friends while staying active outdoors.

If you're new to skiing and snowboarding, Canadian ski resorts everywhere want to encourage you to join them on the hills. Keep your New Year's resolution by visiting your local ski resort for affordable and easy ways to join in on the fun. Staring Jan. 17-25, Canadians everywhere will be participating in the 2009 National "Learn to Ski and Snowboard Week." During this week, participating ski areas across Canada will be offering you 50 per cent price reductions and "two for one" discounts on packages that include beginner lift tickets, equipment rentals and beginner lessons. That's everything you need to be a part of Canada's most exciting and popular winter sports!

Ski areas will also be hosting themed events and activities. These events can include ski and snowboarding competitions where you can check out the pros in action. You can also receive deals on lodging, food and beverages.
