  • For each $100 you donate, you will receive a raffle ticket. (A $200 donation=2 raffle tickets, a $300 donation=3 raffle tickets.)

Trail etiquette
Keep in mind the trail is open to public so stay to one side and ski single file "double pole" when passing. Call out “biker up”, “biker back”, pass “on your left” when appropriate. We will have supplemental water and packaged snacks on course. Skiing with your own water belt is suggested.
