Downtown Montreal street will transform into ski slope for upcoming festival
A different kind of traffic will take over one of Montreal’s main streets at the end of this month.
With the return of APIK — a free, 10-day urban event in the heart of Montreal aimed at local adrenaline enthusiasts — comes the installation of miniature ski hills on the corner of rue Saint-Denis and Ontario.
On February 25, skiing will be held, and on February 26, the snowboarding competition will take place, followed by a White Claw afterparty at Abreuvoir. A cash prize of $20,000 will be won and anyone who signs a waiver is allowed entry. They can even bring their own equipment.
According to event organizers, the festival, which runs from February 24 to March 5, will host “winter activities for all ages.” This year’s edition of APIK is set to include a mini snow park, obstacle course, boulder climbing wall, ski and snowboard competitions, and DJ sets.
