Asessippi Ski Area & Resort wrapped up its 2025–2026 winter season with a weekend full of energy, creativity, and community, highlighted by the return of its Annual Slush Cup and the debut of a brand-new Easter event.
On Saturday, April 4, Asessippi hosted its Annual Slush Cup, drawing a large crowd of spectators and 36 participants ready to take on the challenge. This year’s event featured a pond skim format, where riders attempted to glide across a chilly water feature.
While many competitors made a splash, one participant successfully skimmed across the pond, earning bragging rights (and a prize) for the triumph. The event also saw a wide range of costumes and strong spectator turnout, creating a active and entertaining atmosphere on the hill.
The following day, Sunday, April 5, Asessippi introduced its first-ever Asessippi Eggstravaganza, a family-focused Easter event that brought guests together across the resort. Activities included a resort-wide outdoor egg hunt, an indoor kids hunt, and a bunny counting challenge.
“It was great to see kids so excited and lined up for first chair to start the outdoor hunt,” said Baily, Marketing Manager at Asessippi. “The response was incredibly positive, and we’re already planning to bring it back for Easter weekend next season.”
Leading into the final weekend, Asessippi also saw strong attendance during Manitoba Spring Break, supported by targeted promotions and family-focused offers that brought visitors to the hill during one of the busiest times of the season.
Overall, Asessippi reports a successful season, marked by strong guest engagement, well-attended events, and continued growth in its programming.
Looking ahead, the resort plans to bring back its signature events while continuing to expand its event lineup and guest experiences for the 2026–2027 season.
