CRUISIN' FOR KIDS 2010 

The 6th annual Cruisin' for Kids skiathon was held in Vail, Colorado, on March 26, 2010.  It was as successful as it was snowy!!  Once again we raised over $150,000 and have now reached over $1,000,000 in just six years!!  It was a very snowy day as the participants were "Skiing for Solutions" and "Boarding for Breakthroughs" to reach our finish line--CURES.  Participants participated in an all-mountain scavenger hunt, but were "snowed out" of the races at the Black Forest Race Arena.  We all enjoyed the snow though and had a great lunch together and then enjoyed the POWDER!!  Everyone had a wonderful time at the After Party at the Sonnenalp celebrating our success.  Thanks to all who participated and all those who sponsored them!
