Volunteer celebrity and professional coaches are on hand to coordinate teams and assist skiers with professional race tips and instructions.
History
In 1988, Larry Chadwick and a small group of friends started the Oregon Cancer Ski Out as a way to positively channel their sadness and frustration over the loss of loved ones to cancer.
The idea was to create an event that would benefit cancer research, hospice and cancer prevention programs. The event had to be meaningful, affordable and well organized, but above all, it had to be fun... serious fun!
The result was an innovative ski race with a team-based format that rewarded consistency, not speed, making it possible for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities to participate.
March 2012, marks the Ski Out's 24th anniversary. Its success is largely due to the strong support of team participants and corporate sponsors who return year after year to experience the fun, camaraderie and opportunity to give that the Ski Out provides.
