The Seventh Annual Breckebeiner 60 km Ski-a-thon was the place to be on March 28th. Over 200 skiers and guests enjoyed great ski conditions and raised over $20,000 for the BOEC! Music was again provided by Helmut Fricker, Those Austrian Guys and Doc PJ’s sound system. Top skiers were Greg Ruckman at 150km and Justin Easter at 120km. Many others skied or snowshoed 3, 12, 30, 60 or more km solo or as part of a team. It was all great fun and the palm trees and decorations reminded all that summer is near.
Many thanks to Gene and Therese Dayton for hosting and working so hard to bring this event about; to volunteers Jim Anderson, Brian and Joanne Hartwig, Elizabeth Hill, Mel Parveti, Bill McClaude, Hampton Gewin and Jim Heil; to staff Marci Sloan, Bob Bond, Melissa Kuwahara, Jaime Benthin, Erin Baird and Kristen Marron; and thanks to the Butterhorn Bakery, Sire Speedy Printing, The Summit Daily and Hans Peak Cafe for their support of the event. Most of all, thanks to all of you who came to ski, to party and to support the work of the BOEC!
Mark your calendars for next year, the last Saturday in March.
