It was a successful Santa Sunday at Mountain High on December 15th, with 181 Santa-suited snowboarders and skiers hitting the slopes for a good cause. In its 4th year, Santa Sunday boasted more participants than ever before, resulting in more than $3,600 raised for Protect Our Winters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that turns passionate outdoor people into effective climate advocates.
On Sunday, guests dressed in Santa Claus suits gave a minimum $20 donation to POW and received a full-day lift ticket to Mountain High in exchange. Following a photo op, the Santas boarded the Snowflake chairlift and rode down the Easy Street trail together, making for a festive red-and-white scene. See more photos from the event here.
Protect Our Winters (POW) leads a community of athletes, thought pioneers and forward-thinking business leaders to affect systemic solutions to climate change. POW works creatively and opportunistically and focuses on three main areas: youth education, advocacy and community-based activism. Learn more about Protect Our Winters and how you can participate at protectourwinters.org.
Guests looking to participate next year in Santa Sunday can keep an eye out on mthigh.com, where sign-up and information will be posted a few weeks prior to the 2020 nonprofit ride.
