Black Jack’s Skier Development Program (SDP) is hosting our first ever

ski-athon event!

SUNDAY MARCH 24, 9am to 1pm

The intention of this community building event is to provide an opportunity for skiers to have fun, make connections, challenge themselves, and raise money for SDP.  

Prior to the date, skiers will set a distance goal and gather pledges.  On March 24, all skiers will get together to ski multiple laps of a course in order to meet (or exceed!) their goal. Participants will be placed on teams and have up to three hours to ski. The emphasis will be on fun!

 We encourage Jackrabbits, Track Attack, J-Rad and Racers to participate in this event.  Sign up using this google form: Ski-athon Sign Up (click here). If you can sign up early, that will greatly help our planning!
