Fight The Good Fight At White Pass With Hope On Slopes

The American Cancer Society and Ski White Pass are teaming up to help fight and eradicate cancer by conducting a Hope on the Slopes event March 14-15.

The Hope on the Slopes campaign is a team and individual skiing and snowboarding event in which participants engage in competition with other participants in two categories: Dollars raised for the American Cancer Society and the number of vertical feet skied or snowboarded during the two days of the event.

Registration is $35 per individual and $150 for a team of up to 15 riders. The registration fee does not include a lift ticket, but White Pass will offer two-day lift tickets for $47 (regular rate is $47 per day for adults).

If you want to learn more about Hope on the Slopes event, hop on over to White Pass and learn how.

A great time to do that would be the weekend of Feb. 28-March 1, when the resort hosts its annual Winter Carnival. Diversions include a snow sculpture contest (spectators can vote on their favorite on Saturday after 2 p.m.), carnival games and face painting for kids both days, a torchlight parade and fireworks on Saturday, live music by Blind Lemon Pie Saturday afternoon, and a sumptuous Winter Carnival dinner Saturday evening.

    Thanks for getting the word out about Hope on the Slopes! Both HOTS and Winter Carnival remind us of how fortunate we are to be healthy and able to ski / ride each day. While HOTS supports Cancer Research, Winter Carnival supports Children's Village in their efforts to assist children and their families. Year after year we have the pleasure of meeting families who reconnect with our sport and the mountain after winning their personal battle against disease. Please join us in our efforts to help those who save lives by working so hard for a cure!

    See you at White Pass!

    PS - If you cannot make it to WP - Hope on the Slopes also has event dates at Steven's Pass, WA - Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, OR - Tamarak, ID - Crystal Mt., WA - Greek Peak, NY - Breckenridge, CO. We want to thank the industry for jumping on board with this event which started at White Pass 6 years ago and now has raised nearly $1 million for the American Cancer Society.
