There will also be prizes for all participants who complete the entire 100K followed by a group photo of the new 100K club! Refreshments and snacks will be provided to help keep challengers going throughout the day. This event is limited to the first 40 people who register so be sure to sign up now. It is also required that competitors raise a minimum of $250 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. There will be a dinner, included in the registration fee, and awards ceremony immediately after the 100K challenge.

The event promises to be a blast so give us a call at 888-SKI-WILD x. 216 or sign up online, and don't forget your pledge sheets! All ages and disciplines are welcome!

100K DAY RULES, REGULATIONS & SPORTSMANSHIP

more about the event and make plans to join us in 2010!
This is not a race, it is a challenge. There is a nine hour window to complete the 100K, from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm (unless all participants still entered complete the 100K prior to 4:30 pm).This equates to 11 minutes and 15 seconds per run. The lift can reach the summit in less than 7 minutes, which leaves almost 4.5 minutes to complete each run. This is plenty of time to ski down the mountain in a safe controlled manner, for the duration of the day, and reach the 100K mark. This is not an all day downhill type race and anyone deemed to be endangering themselves or others will be removed from the challenge at the discretion of our staff. Participants will be allowed to complete a maximum of 50 runs and will be required to stop for the day when that total is reached.
Registration.The registration fee is $65, or $35 for Wildcat Season Pass Holders. The field is limited to 40 contestants. The Registration table will open at 6:00 a.m. on the day of the challenge. All challengers will be given a bib, sign a waiver, and checked for a helmet.
Helmets are required for this event. If you do not have one, Wildcat will make every effort to provide you with one, but if none are available you cannot participate.
Lift Privileges. Entering the 100K challenge will provide you with a lift ticket for the day as well as a pass to the front of the line when you reach the bottom. This will help participants maximize their time spent on the hill going for the 100K.
Course. The
course for this event will be Wildcat's legendary Lynx Trail.
It takes a rather direct route down the mountain and covers
2,112 vertical feet. It will be closed to the general public
at all points of entry, so only challengers will be on the
trail.
Follow
the Code. You are responsible for knowing and adhering
to the Skiers Responsibility Code. Challengers deemed to
be skiing in a reckless manner will be removed from the challenge.
Volunteers. We
do need help staffing this event. Anyone who volunteers for
this event will receive 2 complimentary vouchers good any day
for the rest of the season. To volunteer for this event, please
contact Thomas Prindle at 603-466-3326 x. 216.
Fund
Raising. The top prizes will be awarded to the challengers
who raise the most money for Make-A-Wish®. Click
here to download your pledge sheet, or
pick one up at the base lodge.
Dinner/Awards. After
the Challenge is over all challengers and volunteers are invited
to the awards party dinner. There will be a nice pasta dinner,
cash bar, and prizes. We'll also take a photo of the
new 2010 100K club! See you there.
If you or your organization is interested in helping
out, please e-mail Thomas.
