Big name hollywood celebrities are set to return to the Rockies to raise money and awareness for environmental protection while getting in some time swooshing down the slopes.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will host his annual Celebrity Sports Invitational at Fairmont Banff Springs hotel and Sunshine Village, Jan. 18 to 21.

Movie stars such as Alec Baldwin, Woody Harrelson, Tim Robbins and Virginia Madsen are scheduled to attend the event, which will have them competing in events such as toboggan, biathlon and dual giant slalom races at Sunshine. They'll also attend a $500-per-person gala dinner on Jan. 20.

"It's a great way to showcase the Canadian Rockies to the rest of North America, and it's a lot of fun," said Crosbie Cotton, a spokesman for the event. "For the price of one ski lift ticket, you can see everyone."

A gold table for 10 is worth $10,000 for the dinner and comes with a celebrity table guest. Seventies rock icon Peter Frampton is scheduled to perform at the gala affair.

Baldwin, Robbins and actress Marcia Gay Harden will act as co-hosts for the event along with Kennedy.

The 45 expected celebrity attendees come from a broad spectrum, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Canadian Olympic skier Karen Percy-Lowe.

Kennedy founded the Waterkeeper Alliance in 1999 as an organization to keep lakes and waterways safe from pollution.

Last year, the event raised $1 million. Money raised this year will go to the Canadian chapter of the organization.

Tickets are available to the pubic through Fairmont Banff Springs.

Fernie The Sequal or How Chris missed out on 50 Cm of fresh powder




I started on my Journey at 6:30 pm to the air port to drop off my Mom and
Dad, then across town to to Tuscany to pick my Buddy Angus at his in laws. then back down to our place. This was a two hour trip. Once we were on the road to Black Diamond to meet Trish, Keith and Jeff, the going wasn't that bad. It was dark but the moon was out so you could see well enough. When we got past to Longview the winds picked up. Angus and I spotted a truck trailer turned on it's side. A little ferther down was a camper on it's side on the side of the road. After that a quick Pee break in Coalman and we were on our way. Next Stop Fernie, We pulled in and it was raining. The 5 of us found Chirs, Billy , & mc Gee? in bed half asleep.



As usual poker insued.

This is the only evedence that these 3 were at the hill. We were second in line to boot.
After an icy run Chris (nevelle), Billy and Mc Gee, decided to boogy out back to Calgary.

That was when Angus and I went to the other side of the mountian and found the deep powder.











Angus Action shot. nice

















There was so much snow that Angus, Jeff, and Myself could ride the avalance below, once there was snow on it.






This is how much snow dumped on my car while we had dinner. The Street was clean when we went in.
