We had a fantastic weekend at Crystal Mountain with the Vertical Express for MS!!!!!
We had sun, snow, sun, snow and a really great show(ing)!
25 teams of 3 competed and have raised over $41,000 (so far!!) to help people with MS.
We have challenged all teams to a race to raise $9000.00 by March 22. The first team to get there will win a complimentary trip for all 3 team members to our Annual Awards ceremony in Vail April 15-18.
Any team that gets to $15,000 by March 22 will also get to go.
The top 6 fundraising teams are: Team Crystal, Crystal Mt. Ski Patrol 2, Powder Hounds for MS, Team Share, Wolfe Patrol & MSFits.
If you’d like to make a tax deductible donation to support any of those teams (or any other team) please do that here.
Our online Auction with 95.7 KJR-FM is closed. Thank you to Jay Kelly, Kevin Ebi and all the folks at KJR-FM!!!.
