On April 1st-2nd, there will be a 24 hour ski race at Schweitzer Mountain resort. This race is to help find the cure for cystinosis and a child who has this disease named Hank. For anyone with questions on this disease here is the link: http://www.24hoursforhank.org/

That being said..... I am in need of team members who are able and willing to ski for said time or at least a portion of it. Last year I was able to ski 136(155,000ft vert.) runs in the 24 hour time period and am looking to beat that. There is loads of food, energy drinks, etc... to keep you going throughout

Time is running short........ Join Team NS!

Pm me if you have any questions

sounds neat but

A) I have no idea where that is

B) I don't race

C) It will be very hard to find people that will want to do this on NS

good luck though

Do it guys! 24 hour ski/snowboard events are a ton of fun (we've helped two around the PNW so far this year), everyone at 2am is super friendly and having a great time, no matter what the conditions... and you can always go hunt bears if you need some late night motivation. Do it, the reward of seeing dawn break over the ski hill is fucking amazing.
