GRIN & GRIND: UPHILL SKI GATHERING
Is that man riding a horse… yes, yes he is. This is my favorite sporting event of the year! People from all across the area, and beyond, come ski anywhere between 1 to 12 uphill laps. Some folks don costumes around noon for the costume lap. Low key, but lots of fun.
When: Sunday April 16thth Anytime between 7am-4pm
Where: Mt Spokane State Park – Lodge One (discover pass OR snow-park permit required)
Why: Because it is gonna be awesome and there will be awards….and maybe some really cool people you didn’t know before.
Details:
· The early riser uphill shredders will convene to knock off a PR day of uphilling, and the late comers will be right behind to enjoy the corn snow. Come for one lap or lots more! Bring your splitboards, teleskis, or carbon skimo set up along with your hibachi and cooler of drinks. It will be a great day of skiing and hanging while folks skin and ski into the afternoon!
· Wear costumes, lycra, or the canadian tuxedo. This event is a day of fun, personal bests, and supporting folks getting down to set a PR and/or hang with like-minded ski touring folk! *There will be a party-lap at noon and costumes or silly attire is encouraged*
· The dreamers of this event are not looking to make this a formal sign-up and register type deal. The event does have participants from the Spokane mountaineers, Rambleraven, she-jumps, IPAC, and panhandle backcountry but is set to simply be a gathering of like-minded folks in pursuit of good-times, PRs, and celebrating an awesome season.
· Interested in helping (e.g. flip burgers, procure swag, develops awards), or just to ask a few questions email gringrindski@gmail.com
