Lifts of Love
The 2015 Lifts of Love chairlift speed dating event, co-hosted by Highline, took Norquay by storm on Saturday, Feb 14th. With over 180 sexy-and-single participants (that’s more than twice as many as last year!), you could actually smell the hormones drifting through the lodge during the after party.
Ahhhh, the sweet smell of hormones early in the morning.
Highline donated an “Ultimate First Date” prize pack that included:
a trip for two into the Rat’s Nest Cave with Canmore Cave Tours
dinner for two at the Banff Ave Brewing Co
ten free movie rentals from Avalanche Movie Co
and breakfast for two and a sweet thermos from Summit Cafe
Bear hugs go out to all of our sponsors and to all of you fine mountain folks who came out to make this party one for the books.

JOIN HIGHLINE AND THE ALPINE CLUB OF CANADA FOR OUR 2013 SUMMER SOCIAL SPEAKER SERIES
Every second Tuesday at 7:30, beginning on June 18th, 2013 come on up to the Alpine Club Clubhouse at 201 Indian Flats Road in Canmore for pizza, beer, prizes and some great entertainment.
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from The Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co, you will dine on free pizza while soaking up some local culture. Proceeds from $5 beer sales go to keeping the Highline team rolling and bringing you these sweet events, so don’t be shy!
Your presence at the event automatically enters you to win yourself this summer’s grand prize of a The North Face Rock 22, 2-person tent. Designed to keep two adults sheltered from wind and rain, this steadfast, reliable tent is a perennial favorite for nearly year-round excursions. The more you come out, the more times you can enter!
Prizes of all kinds from our local supporters will also be drawn nightly.
***The proceeds of these events allow us to continue to bring you the best in Rocky Mountain culture, as well as to supporting a different local charity of the speaker’s choice each week. Thanks for donating what you can!
