JAYME & JENNY By Jayme Moorcroft A special thank you to Alpine staff from two ‘Next Gen’ members. Having been a member at Alpine for 20 years, it has become a truly special place for my family and now fiancé. One of our first dates was a fun-filled weekend of snowboarding down Arrowhead, Lovers Lane, hot chocolate in the Summit Chalet, and showing off how Alpine does aprèsski! Having made so many unforgettable memories at this club, I knew Alpine was the perfect spot for a proposal. I reached out to Kim Giffen and the Alpine events team to help bring my idea to life, and they were thrilled to be a part of it. The plan was to go on a hike to the Summit Chalet and set up a sign in the windows that would read, “Will you marry me, Jenny?” Kim and her staff helped us set up the signage on the secondstorey window, so it would be perfectly visible when we came out of the forest, overlooking the picturesque background of Georgian Bay. We lucked out with a break in the weather for our hike, and the proposal went exactly as I had hoped. She said yes! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone at Alpine for making our proposal so special. We’ll be smiling every time we get off the chairlift, reliving a memory that will last a lifetime.
KAYLIE & ERIC By Kaylie Dankevy I started skiing at Alpine when I was three, turning to snowboarding at age seven, and for the past 16 years, I’ve worked in programs as a snowboard pro and coach. When Eric and I started dating seven years ago, he knew that snowboarding was a big part of my life and with no hesitation, accepted my offer to come up to Alpine and give it a shot. After a winter of dedicating time to a few falls, a sore body, and multiple coaches taking him for runs and giving him tips, he really got the hang of it. Fast forward to five winters later, when he coordinated the perfect Alpine snowboarding proposal – planning a full surprise, hiding away near the deck at Wrong Turn, and had my brother ride over with him where he was waiting for me with ring in hand. When it was time to start planning the wedding, Alpine seemed like the only logical choice! On November 6, 2021, after a few delays, we were finally able to get it done. While there wasn’t any snow on the ground, it was the best day at the perfect spot!
MEGAN & TIM Megan grew up at Alpine and shared her love of the mountain with Tim early on in their relationship. They spent many weekends of their long-distance relationship meeting up on the slopes and celebrating at après-ski. Tim knew it would be the perfect place to pop the question, and the couple recently held their wedding here in early December!
