Here is an update for all of you Ice Maidens. After your feedback on airport transfers and outdoor hot tubs (mandatory apparently) we’ve dropped the former and acquired the latter, which means a price drop from $1250 down to $1050 (all CAD of course).

The Glitter Girls is proud to present their first event in the Canadian Rockies. We are hosting an ice climbing extravaganza the week of February 5th to 12th, 2010.
