What is Tour de Frost?

Tour de Frost is Western’s official winter games. Teams of 10 students (minimum of 6) will compete in a series of outdoor and indoor challenges campus-wide.  The tour begins Monday February 7, 2011 in the University Community Centre with the raising of the flags.  Throughout the tour teams will compete in a variety of skill-testing events and physical activities.  Teams compete to earn points for sweet prizes and serious bragging rights.  The team who earns the most points at the end of the tour will win the coveted Tour de Frost CUP and some serious Tour de Frost paraphernalia.  The GRAND PRIZE will be announced at the all captains’ meeting on Thursday February 3, 2011 at 4:30pm in Council Chambers.

Who Can Participate?

The tour is open to all undergraduate students at Western. Build your team through friends, roommates, classmates, soph friends, club members, teammates…whatever! There are virtually no restrictions how you assemble your team. We can only take a limited number of teams so be quick and get your registration package in early.

Points and Scoring

The tour will host a number of challenges that will test your might, mind, and mania.  Each challenge requires a different number of team members and each team member must compete in at least one challenge. Teams are encouraged to compete in as many activities as possible, however it is not a requirement to compete in every challenge on the tour.

Teams are awarded points depending on how well they perform in each of the challenges.  The number of points and how they can be awarded varies with each event.  Points may be awarded by simply completing a task, or can be awarded in accordance to placement (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.) in a challenge.  Teams will also be assigned bonus points throughout the tour by Tour de Frost staff for demonstrating positive spirit, enthusiasm, and goodwill towards other teams.

Members of the winning team will walk away with a winter ski package valued at $900, courtesy of
Ultimate Ski Vacations.


Travel Cuts is a proud sponsor of Tour de Frost.
