Ski it like you mean it

Tomorrow 2/24 at Loveland, you or you-and-your-friends can raise money for The American Cancer Society while you make some runs. It's the ACS Vertical Rally. Starting at 8:30 a.m., make laps on Chair One. You can win prizes for raising the most money or for the total number of vertical feet. Pre-registered folks get discounted lift tix ($28!). Details

Then at A-Basin on Sunday, 2/25, it's the annual Ski-A-Thon. It was started after a Colorado School of Mines alum skied into a tree but survived horrific injuries partly because he was wearing a helmet. The Beta Phi chapter of Beta Theta Pi sponsors the Ski-A-Thon to raise money to so that you can use a helmet free when you rent a ski or snowboard package from Christy Sports. Cost is $40 for a lift ticket, lunch, T-shirt and a raffle ticket for prizes, or $10 if you don't need a lift ticket. Details

Figures to be a crowded weekend at both resorts, so why not make the best of it with a big group of people for a good cause
