About the Epic “Month Long Bring It On”:  
The athletes of each discipline will have a specific set of challenges set forth.  For example, alpine racers, mogul skiers, freeskiers, and snowboarders will participate in a Vertical Challenge where they will compete to ski the highest number of vertical feet for the entire month of January.Vertical mileage will be tracked with Vail Resort’s EpicMix and the participants who ski or ride the most vertical feet will win prizes. Nordic athletes will track the mileage they put in for the month of January through their monitors and by their coaches.  All athletes will be asked to collect pledges for their participation in the Vertical Challenge, making this a competition both on and off of the snow!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Emmy Hoyt at ehoyt@skiclubvail.org or 970.790.5122.







Bring It On!

Jennie Fancher, Ann L’Esperance, Amy Pates and Leslie Snyder
