SUMMARY:Vertical Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the Vertical Challenge released its 2023 schedule. The family ski and snowboard tour will visit its largest number of resorts in five years this season. In addition\, the VC will showcase the schedule and much more on a revamped ski-vc.com website. \n“We’re so excited to reconnect with racers at some of our favorite resorts\, including a few we haven’t gotten to visit in recent years” said Vertical Challenge owner Heather Clifford. “Plus\, we’re looking forward to bringing VC fun to some new mountains that have never hosted one of our events.” \nThe Vertical Challenge Presented by Chevrolet is a series of casual ski and snowboard races open to skiers and snowboarders of all ages and abilities\, accompanied by a festival experience. The tour offers adaptive categories and also looks to engage its participants in raising funds for the state chapters of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the areas it visits. The VC stages one-day events at mountains throughout greater New England. \nThe season opens Sunday\, January 8 in Maine\, traveling to Saddleback for the first time since 2009. \nNew resorts added this season include BigRock Mountain in Maine (January 15)\, Swain Resort in New York (February 19)\, and Connecticut’s Ski Sundown (February 26). The tour will stop in six total states (Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, and Vermont in addition to those noted above) in 2023. Clifford and company will also offer a virtual reality experience with their new Oculus Quest 2 headsets\, product samples\, and prizes at the VC booth (H30) this weekend (November 18-20) during the Snowbound Expo at the Hynes Center in Boston. \nThe Vertical Challenge races are free for participants\, with costs paid by tour sponsors\, including Olivia’s Organics\, Stonyfield\, Dermatone\, PepsiCo\, ALOHA\, Northeast Delta Dental\, Xfinity\, and presenting sponsor Chevrolet. All entrants need to do is purchase a lift ticket from the host mountain and complete a registration form\, which can be done in advance at ski-vc.com. The VC will once again work with NASTAR for racer registration and results. The top three finishers in each category qualify for the finals\, which Jay Peak Resort will host Saturday\, April 1\, 2023. \nMore information about the Vertical Challenge (a WBENC-certified woman-owned business) is available at the tour’s official website at ski-vc.com. Digital transformation agency UO Solutions created its new look\, including updates to information pages\, the VC’s blog\, and extensive insights for potential sponsors. \n2023 Vertical Challenge Schedule \nSaddleback\, ME Sunday\, January 8\, 2023 \nLost Valley\, ME Saturday\, January 14\, 2023 \nBigRock Mountain\, ME Sunday\, January 15\, 2023 \nNashoba Valley\, MA Saturday\, January 21\, 2023 \nCranmore Mountain Resort\, NH Sunday\, January 22\, 2023 \nSki Butternut\, MA Saturday\, January 28\, 2023 \nJiminy Peak\, MA Sunday\, January 29\, 2023 \nCatamount\, NY Saturday\, February 4\, 2023 \nBerkshire East\, MA Sunday\, February 5\, 2023 \nMcIntyre Ski Area\, NH Saturday\, February 11\, 2023 \nPats Peak\, NH Sunday\, February 12\, 2023 \nSnow Ridge\, NY Saturday\, February 18\, 2023 \nSwain Resort\, NY Sunday\, February 19\, 2023 \nMount Southington\, CT Saturday February 25\, 2023 \nSki Sundown\, CT Sunday\, February 26\, 2023 \nBurke Mountain\, VT Friday\, March 3\, 2023 \nSmugglers’ Notch\, VT Saturday\, March 4\, 2023 \nSaskadena Six\, VT Sunday\, March 5\, 2023 \nBolton Valley\, VT Monday\, March 6\, 2023 \nPico Mountain\, VT Saturday\, March 11\, 2023 \nBromley Mountain\, VT Sunday\, March 12\, 2023 \nKing Pine\, NH Saturday\, March 18\, 2023 \nJay Peak\, VT-Finals Saturday\, April 1\, 2023
