Each year Ridge-A-Thon participants and donors help encourage donations for the Emergency Medicines Fund at Taos Community Foundation, which funds grants in the area of health and basic needs in Taos and Western Colfax Counties.
Ridge-A-Thon is a breath-taking snow sports event at Taos Ski Valley. Participants lap the hike-to terrain over two days, or take just a single hike. For those who can’t or don’t ski/board/hike you have the opportunity to design another TSV mountain pursuit, (with advance approval of TSV) to serve as your “Ridge Challenge". Whichever category you pick, you do your thing for as long as you can on Friday and/or Saturday from 9-3ish (or until you have to go back to work, or just can’t, or you get hungry and have to go eat and come back...maybe), and people who love and care about you and your cause will support you with donations because they pitty you, or rather, respect your commitment to Community Health.
Registration is individual. Individual fundraisers are encouraged to participate with a partner or team for the event because it’s just really a lot of fun, dress up, fly your flag, as everyone will be asking you what the heck you’re doing.
Individual registration is fulfilled by raising a minimum of $200 in donations in advance of the event, through our online fundraising site or by good old check, but most of our annual supporters aim higher and fundraise right through the event using the on-mountain exposure to drum up donations from other curious mountain-goers.
We would love to have you, your crew, your friends and your family members join us for a shredding good time at Taos Ski Valley.
