Ski-a-Thon - March 16 & 17, 2024
(The Middlebury Ski Club keeps program registration costs down through critical fundraising efforts. A new fundraising initiative this year is our first ever Ski-a-Thon. We are excited for what should be a fun weekend of skiing for our athletes that doubles as a fund-raising event for the club. Athletes’ families, friends, and others are welcome to join in the skiing as well!
When: Saturday, March 16 & Sunday, March 17
Where: Middlebury Snowbowl
How: The MSC will have a tent at the base where participants can stop, grab a snack, and track their progress throughout the two days. Laps on the Worth lift count as two (2) laps and Sheehan as one (1). There will be a link/QR code provided to all participants so all can easily submit their laps at the end of the ski-a-thon.
- MSC Athletes – The MSC will host ski club on Saturday with assigned groups for those that want to participate this way. The younger athletes will ski with their coaches and the older athletes will have the choice of skiing independently or skiing with their coaches. All athletes will be reminded of the Skier’s Responsibility Code.
Generating Donations: We are using a web based fundraising system that makes it easy for you to request pledges from your family and friends, and for them to make secure credit card donations online. After creating your account (use QR code or directions below), you can customize a message to them that can be emailed, texted, posted to Facebook, X, and direct messaged through Instagram. Your donors can choose to give you a flat donation or pledge a per ski lap donation. You get notified each time a pledge is made, and you can track your pledge progress online. It's fun and easy! Our goal is for athletes to raise as close to $250 as possible; however, all donations help us to work toward our goal of raising $12,000. We have prizes to be awarded for various categories, including a Snowbowl ski pass!
More Skiers! More Donors! More Donations!
