‘Strictly Come Skiing’ is the theme for the 11th Wild Girls on Snow event which takes place from the 14th – 17th March 2010 in Klosters.
The event is sponsored by Hotel Alte Post Küblis and Lounge Bar Küblis and The Hotel Rustico and It’s Bar at The Rustico in association with Destination Davos Klosters, Snowlife, Swiss International Air Lines and Davos Klosters Mountains.
Twenty teams will take part and the programme consists of three evenings with dinner and entertainment and two days on the piste with plenty of action! The event opens on the Sunday night with a Wild Girls Cocktail Party at the Hotel Vereina before going on to the Restaurant Höhwald in Monbiel for dinner. On Monday the challenge will be ‘The Wild Girls Derby’ with the teams racing on the famous Parsenn Derby course. Each team will have a local child leading them (sponsored by local companies) with a ski racer at the back. The course will be two runs on the Derby course from the Kreuzweg to the finish and the team with their times closest together will win! Lunch will follow at the Parsennhütte before skiing back down to Klosters. In the evening the theme is ‘Strictly Salsa’ at the Silvretta Parkhotel with naturally plenty of spangles and sparkle too!
On Tuesday, each team having chosen the theme track from a musical, will dance it out on a huge snow stage by the Schneebar Totalp with four celebrity judges giving their scores and comments. The event closes in the evening with the theme of ‘Strictly Cabaret’ at the Hotel Pardenn with surprise entertainment, prize giving and an auction.
Over the last ten years Wild Girls on Snow has raised over CHF 550,000.- for various Children’s Charities based in the UK and Switzerland, including Katie’s Ski Tracks and Right to Play in 2008 and 2009. The event supports the same charities for two consecutive years and the chosen charities for 2010 and 2011 are: jacksplace@naomihouse in the UK and time for care – Kinderhospiz Verein Schweiz in Switzerland.
jacksplace@naomihouse is a new hospice for life limited teenagers and young people which will open early in 2010. jacksplace@naomihouse is a uniquely designed, purpose built hospice that will give young people privacy, independence and dignity and provides care and support for good days, difficult days and last days.
time for care – Kinderhospiz Verein Schweiz, provides holiday respite in Klosters for families with a child that has mental/physical disabilities or a life limiting illness. time for care can offer specific help by paediatric professionals and children’s hospice volunteers thus allowing the whole family to benefit and enjoy the wonderful mountain atmosphere of Klosters, knowing that the special needs child is well cared for.
