K2 Bumps Challenge
Race Down Al’s Run for Charity

This is a fun and challenging ski/snowboard competition during which teams win prizes and raise money based on the number of times they’re able to ski Al’s Run – one of Taos Ski Valley’s most famous and popular mogul runs on the face of the mountain – in the allotted time frame. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit Boarding for Breast Cancer and the Anita Salas Memorial Fund.

Athletes (as teams or as individuals) will secure donations based on the number of times they can ski Al’s Run in a four-hour time slot.

Event Time
10:00am (at the top of Lift #5) – 2:00pm

Competition Begins (LeMans Start)
We will start with what’s called a LeMans start at the top of lift #5. During pre-race announcements everyone will be required to put their skis and boards into a designated area before you get onto the start line. When the 3, 2, 1 goes you will run about 100 feet to a bamboo pole, run around the pole and make your way back to your skis and boards and head to the Upper Al’s Run entrance. It’s a bit of a lung burner but a lot of fun and separates everyone right away.

Awards / Prizes
4:00 p.m. at the Martini Tree Bar. Teams who raise the most money, ski the most runs and have the most fun will win great prizes.
