Skiing and snowboarding are pivotal activities for Youth Enrichment Services (Y.E.S.), which operates the largest urban based program of skiing, snowboarding and outdoor education in the country. Y.E.S. is teaming up with Ski Butternut in Great Barrington, Mass., on Jan 25, to raise money for its programs that “give youth a chance”. The second Massachusetts Snow Challenge is open to snow sliders of all ages. This all day event will include a ski/snowboard race, apres party and a live and silent auction, all benefiting Y.E.S. People of all abilities are encouraged to participate in this fund raising event and be part of the fun at Ski Butternut, described by SKI magazine as “a true family mountain!” Last year, the inaugural Mass. Snow Challenge attracted 50 racers, 150 Y.E.S. participants, and 30 Y.E.S volunteers. This year the hope is to attract 75 racers, and raise $10,000. Involvement in this event can be done on two participation levels. The “Cruiser” level participation is $60 and includes entrance to the Mass. Snow Challenge and lift ticket for the day, lunch and event T-shirt. The buy in for the second level, “Lucifers Leap” is $1000 and includes everything from the “Cruiser “level plus, a Ski Butternut season pass 2003/2004 and a $100 gift certificate to Butternut Ski and Board Shop. “Please join the tradition and help us support Massachusetts children and families,” Jef Murdock President Ski Butternut.
