Here’s our latest mission, concocted by big-mountain skier Kelly Holland. This is an excerpt from her website. For more information, visit www.kkholland.net and help us raise some money for breast cancer research. T-minus two days until we head out on the mission.
Get ready to tour the Utah backcountry for something more than the rush of awesome terrain and the exhilaration of breaking a sweat. This April 26th and 27th a group of girls and myself, in conjunction with SheJumps, will tour for the cure. In the hopes of raising money for breast cancer research and support, we will throw on our skins and power our way to a long, steep, and narrow chute in Little Cottonwood Canyon — the Hypodermic Needle. It’s a full-day tour of up, up, and more up. In recognition of all those who have battled, survived, or succumbed to the pains and torments of breast cancer we will take on the Wasatch. We will rendezvous for a night of spring-camping fun and celebration at the base of the Needle in Hogum Fork. The next morning will be an early start as we make our way — clad in pink — to the top of the Needle for a mid-morning descent of one of the Wasatch’s most notorious chutes. It’s 50 degrees of sheer chute at its entrance and 2,300 vertical feet of Utah skiing. In the days leading up to the tour, I will be collecting pledges that will go toward breast cancer research and support. All pledges and donations will go directly to the Salt Lake City affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. www.komenslc.org
If anyone is interested in joining the tour and overnight adventure, or have any questions contact me at 801-897-4467 or hollandkk@gmail.com.
