The Mothership Classic:

On March 26, The Mothership Classic will return for a first-to-last chair fundraiser on KT-22. The Mothership Classic is a pledge-driven event held each Spring on the world’s greatest chairlift. Participants begin by gathering pledges like a NASCAR racer chasing sponsorships.

On the day of the event, each participant will challenge themselves to hot lap KT-22 as many times as possible from first chair to last on skinny skis, retro snowboards, mono-skis, snow blades, etc. Nostalgic ski attire is encouraged. Awards are given out for a variety of categories including most laps ridden, most money raised, best costume, and more!

All funds raised go directly to the healing efforts of athletes that have suffered life-changing injuries via The High Fives Foundation. Learn more here.

Both events are held from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
