Event Description (for reference):
Join us for NAC’s Friday Night Lights Ski-A-Thon — a fun, high-energy evening on the slopes supporting our Military programs! With the loss of our federal grant funding, this event helps ensure veterans, service members, and their families continue accessing the healing power of adaptive recreation.

Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome! Build a fundraising team (just like Summit Challenge!) or come on your own for a night of skiing, food, music, and community under the Park City lights. All money raised for this event will support the NAC's military programs, and prizes will be awarded for top fundraisers!!

This event is NOT a race. Raise funds for your participation in the event - then come on out and have fun skiing laps with your friends.​

Child Skier (12 and under): $15
