NWSCC NW Ski Challenge
Since 2005 we have been challenging skiers and riders to expand their horizons by visiting as many NW ski areas as they can in one season.
Each year the Council has rewarded skiers and snowboarders who have met the Challenge with gift certificates for equipment, services, lift passes and more. This year, the Council is again challenging skiers and snowboarders to ski the Northwest. The Northwest Ski Challenge rules are as follows:
Ski or ride any seven or more listed resorts during the 2016-2017 ski season to be eligible to win a prize. Winners will be announced at NWSCC Appreciation Night. Your used lift tickets are your ticket to prizes!
Several of our past winners have kept very informative and colorful blogs and photos of their experiences as they skied and rode at Northwest ski areas.
Take the opportunity this year to visit new ski areas, revisit your favorite places to ski, and meet the Challenge!
