Visit www.JinJ.ca for up-to-date information and J in J Deals!
Come and enjoy the fun that Jasper in January 2012 will bring. This year, we are excited to introduce Yukigassen, Japanese for Snow Battle, into the J in J lineup. That's right, it's an organized Snowball Fight. Although Yukigassen was developed by the Japanese, this sport is about as Canadian as it gets and we are hosting a battle right here in Jasper. Be sure to check back here often for more details!
The 2012 theme is Fire and Ice; so come on and warm up to winter!
