members lead the charge on making tracks.

  • You may participate as an individual or as part of a 4-person team. 
  • Team Captains are required to do the skiing or boarding while tracking their VF during the challenge for the team. 
  • Other teammates can opt to physically participate in the challenge or not. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to join us in Mammoth to be part of a successful team. The main priority is to help with fundraising efforts.
  • Our fundraising goals are: $250 per individual or $1,000 per team collectively. 
  • You are still eligible to win prizes if your team wins even if you aren't able to attend. How cool is that?
