6th Annual La Niña Charity Ride A HUGE Success

Well the holidays have passed and I have actually had time to sit down and crunch the numbers for this years charity ride and as a group we managed to raise $9520 for Live It Love It Organization with the registration donations and raffle tickets.. We had 39 registered but due to the poor road conditions we ended up with 35 riders, 4 groups and 8 guides going out on Frisby ridge for one of the biggest storms I can remember. It snowed hard all day and was neck deep. There were a lot of stucks but also alot of smiles and new friendships. The day was really fun and I am so glad that everyone came out.

Hardly any ski pulls today…….
