- Discovery Lessons available only at 10am and 1pm (2-hour lesson – If only one person is in the lesson, lesson will be a maximum of one hour), OR
- One Full Set of Rentals, OR
- One Full Mountain Lift Ticket
For more information, visit your Terrace, Prince Rupert and Kitimat Libraries. We look forward to you joining us on the slopes.

November 4th, 2024,
Following the success of the 2023-24 Public Library Ticket Program, where a staggering 92% of tickets were checked out; LNG Canada, is once again sponsoring the initiative. This season, LNG Canada challenged us to improve their community social capital investment, to find ways attract new skiers as well as subsidize existing ones.
On top of sponsoring the library program, LNG Canada will also be title sponsors for our Good Foot Lesson camps, Multicultural Weekend (Jan 3-4) and Pride and Diversity Weekend (February 22-23), strengthening their commitment making snow sports accessible to everyone.
To make the library program reach more members of our community, the “Library Lift Tickets”, will now be a Voucher that can be redeemed for either:
- 1 Full Day Lift Ticket
- Or 1 Full Day Rental
- Or 1 Discovery Ski or Snowboard Lesson
Beginning December 6th, just in time for MMC-Shames Mountain’s opening weekend, the Terrace Public Library, the Kitimat Public Library, and the Prince Rupert Public Library will each have four dated vouchers available for every operating day for the entire 2024-2025 season at MMC-Shames Mountain. The ski area opens for the season on Saturday, December 7th.
Like other items the public libraries lend, the Vouchers can be checked out for the day, free of charge. Each voucher will be dated and is only good on that one day.
