Are you up for Tackling the Jane-A-Thon Moguls Challenge? Can you ski/ride 16 spine jarring bump runs all in one day? There is only one way to find out. It is in fact possible to ski/ride all of Mary Jane’s major bump runs in one day, amounting over 25,000 vertical skiing. You can conquer the Jane! Prizes will be awarded to the fastest finisher, but everyone will have the satisfaction of knowing that they were able to take everything that Mary Jane had to offer. Time to do some power squats!

* If you hold a Winter Park Ski Pass the registration cost is $15 and will include lunch, a beverage, and a t-shirt but must pledge to fundraise at least $125 for Invest in Kids.

    Hi Mor,

    Annie Thompson with Invest in Kids here. Thanks so much for posting this. Just a slight correction, it’s our 17th Annual Jane-A-Thon instead of 7th Annual Jane-A-Thon. Again, thank you, we appreciate the promotion!
