24 hours for Hank

March 22nd – 23rd, 2013

Schweitzer Mountain Resort

Sandpoint, Idaho

 

 

Nearly 100 skiers and snowboarders ages 4 to 68 from Sandpoint, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane, Moscow, Issaquah, Liberty Lake, Redmond, Richland, Bellevue and around the region, and as far away as California and Colorado took to the slopes with a mission to complete the most runs possible in 24 hours straight. 

 

Bolstered by perfect weather, skill and determination, participants set 10 new records, including three skiers who completed more than 200 runs, and three more that skied or snowboarded more than 190 runs.  In all, an impressive 8,111 runs or 8,081,284 vertical feet were logged during the event.  Participants enjoyed sunny skies and a clear night during the 24-hour relay, including the rare treat of watching the sun rise over Lake Pend Orielle from the top of Schweitzer Mountain, just one of the event’s many high points this year.  The ski relay concluded with an auction dinner and awards party attended by 265 people, with many dressed in Bavarian and Alpine costumes to celebrate the event’s “The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of a Cure” theme.   By the end of the event $123,000 had been raised for cystinosis research!
