Mansfield sold out for Ladies Day

February 4, 2015 · 0 Comments

There was a lot of colourful clothing and big hair during the 1980’s themed Ladies Day event held at the Mansfield Ski Club in Mansfield on Friday, January 30.

The event started early – 8 a.m. – but only a part of that time was on the slopes, and went right through to the aprés ski reception held in the chalet during the evening.

“It’s 80’s day – it’s totally 80’s. We dress up, there’s a lot of big hair,” said event coordinator Kaila McCombs. “It’s a full day packed with an 80’s theme. We have a band coming tonight. It’s all members and guests. We sold out at 300. We had 15 waiting and we were able to sneak them in.”

Between time on the slopes taking part in outdoor competitions, the ladies could warm up inside the chalet and take advantage of a buffet breakfast, buffet lunch, raffles, massages, and other events going on throughout the day.

There were also many different vendors on site with everything from clothing to jewellery.

“You go out when you want. Meals are included. There’s races on the hill, there’s game outside, it’s just a lot of fun,” Kaila explained.

For the more competitively inclined, there was a timed race on the one hill.

It was a cold day, but that made for good skiing conditions and of course everyone dressed appropriately on the slopes to ward off the chill.

The after party got underway at 6 p.m. with band Arden and the Tourists performing an all 80’s tribute.
