You will have an opportunity to get pledges for both number of runs skied or a flat fee for participating from your sponsors.

We estimate a participate could possible ski 30 runs during the 12 hours however all levels of participation are greatly accepted. As an example if a participant could get pledges of .50 a run from 20 sponsors and they skied 30 runs they will raise $300.00!! If 20 athletes do this then the total raised for the day would be $6000.00! There will be 1st,2nd &3rd prizes awarded for several categories...stayed tuned for these details. A celebration will follow on Sunday Jan 17,2009 to award prizes etc.

The WSRC coaches will be supporting this initiative and will be including this event in their training schedule for the day! So get your racer signed up! Racers challenge your coach to do the same.

WSRC will have a number of "grab & go' nutritious snacks and drinks during the day for participants as they ski their runs.

Christmas time is a great time to have your sponsor sheet handy with all the interaction with relatives, friends & neighbours. You  will have a great start on your pledges!

Join in the fun and do what you all like to best ski for a day...ski and raise funds for club WSRC programs at the same time!

Lastly as you know it will take a small band of volunteers to pull this off...we will need 'run counters", assistance with organizing snacks & hot drinks, bib hand out a & collection etc. Please say you will volunteer and work a shift at the Ski-A-Thon.

To participate or if you have any questions, just email our Club Administrator nightingale@accesswave.ca at and start collecting pledges...good luck!!

Many thanks...ski, ski, ski!
