VERTICAL CHALLENGE: STEVENS PASS

So this weekend at stevens, the American Cancer Society is having their second Vertical Challenge to raise money for cancer research and awareness. Basically, you ski as much as you can from 10 am saturday to 10 am sunday. They have a few lifts open all night (hogs and skyline im assuming), so you obviously keep skiing. You get a tracker that keeps track of how many runs you do and adds your vertical feet to your team's total. If you register as an individual, you can't get a tracker, so I'm trying to see if there are some people interested in participating. The team fee is $150, (which we would split) and i don't believe there is a limit to how many people. The trackers are $35 for adults and $22 for youths. It would be sick to get a NS team up there to dominate all night. The draw is definatley skiing all night, but it would be awesome to try and get as much in donations as posisble. If anyone is interested, just post here or shoot me a pm. I know it's kinda late notice, but I know some people wanna do it!

Here's the link to the site:

I did this at White Pass a few years ago and it was soo much fun, come on people!

originally i thought you couldn't get a vertical tracker as an individual, which is actually not true. that means that if everyone interested registered individually, it's only 35 bucks compared with 35 + the team fee. unless there are more than 5 people interested, i think going individual makes more financial sense for most of us. any thoughts?

they are sending the exact vertical feet out htis week, although they said they had enough info to know who won. i got a $20 starbucks card, a backpack, a framed 1st place poster, and a gold medal. it was more about winning the title than the actual prizes though. ill post when i get the results for vert feet
