Dave Spencer Ski Classic

DAVE SPENCER SKI CLASSIC
To Benefit the Adaptive Sports Association

Friday and Saturday
March 2nd - 3rd, 2007
At Durango Mountain Resort
Elicit your spirited nature and attend this weekend event filled with laughter, camaraderie, costumes, ski racing and great food. This winter fund-raiser benefits the Adaptive Sports Association (ASA), Durango's sports and recreational program for people with disabilities.

RACE HIGHLIGHTS
The highlight of the weekend is the Classic Ski Race. Form a team, or register as an individual to challenge others. Your team could consist of co-workers, friends or family. How about a little friendly competition with a business rival, service club or upper management? Encourage them to form their own teams -- take the competition to the slopes while raising money for an awesome cause.

RACE LOGISTICS
The top prizes will go to the highest fund-raising individuals and teams plus the most consistent skiers. Race winners are determined by their predicted time on the race course. You don't need to be fast. The key is to predict the time it will take you or your team to finish the course. We will also have prizes for individual time, best costumes, fastest time, biggest wipe-out and more!

FORMING YOUR TEAM
Your team should consist of 5 people. If you need to be placed on a team, or you need a spot filled, we would be happy to make those arrangements for you.
Each team must raise a minimum of $750 ($150 per person) - We only have room for a limited number of teams, as to ensure the quality of the experience for each racer (no waiting in unbelievably long lines to race, etc…). Help us be able to keep the event on a smaller, more enjoyable scale by pushing beyond the minimum of S150 and raise more money than you ever thought possible!! Prizes for the top fund-raisers!!
