Summary
Slippy fun

Porsche Canada has announced dates and details for its ninth annual winter driving program, which runs January 30 through February 19, 2019 and bears a new name: Porsche Ice Experience.

The event formerly known as Porsche Camp4 begins with a trio of four-day, novice-level Ice Intro waves running January 30 to February 2 and February 1-4 and 4-7.

That will be followed by the more advanced, five-day Ice Experience and Ice Force programs, which run February 8-12 and 15-19, respectively. All three levels put drivers behind the wheel of the 911 sports car with a professional driver riding shotgun and providing instruction.

As before, Porsche is running its winter driving program at the Mecaglisse race facility outside of Montreal. The Porsche Ice Experience is not a cheap proposition, priced at $5,495 for Ice Intro, $6,795 for Ice Experience and $7,995 for Ice Force. That cost includes food, accommodations at the nearby Esterel Suites and Spa and transportation between the hotel and venue each day.

Porsche Ice Experience reservations can be made at PorscheExperience.ca.
