DATE: Saturday, March 3, 2012
PLACE: Vail Mountain & Arabelle Square in Lionshead

Participants will ski/ride down a "pink-ified" mountain in support of Shaw Regional Cancer Center. The optional "Checkpoint Challenge" will be available for those competitive folks who want to win cool prizes! Checkpoints will be established around the mountain - grab a Pink Vail coin at each checkpoint and bring it to registration to be entered into a drawing with incredible prizes. At 4:00 p.m., cancer survivors and/or their families/friends will convene at Eagle's Nest to begin a "Celebration Ski Down" to Arabelle Square, where they will be commemorated and the festivities will begin! An après party and concert will be open to the public with food, drink, prizes, and music by Gomez. This event is not to be missed!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Pink Vail? A ski/snowboard day and concert to benefit breast cancer care at Shaw Regional Cancer Center (100% of the funds stay local).

Is this a race? No. Participants can ski their hearts out, chill on Garfinkel’s deck or grill out at Blue Sky Basin if they want. The goal is to simply get sponsors for your day on Vail Mountain.

How do you raise funds? Just like asking someone to sponsor your walk or run for a summer breast cancer event, you are asking friends and family to sponsor your ski day.

How much does it cost to participate? It’s FREE to register at www.pinkvail.com. To officially participate on March 3, you will need to have raised $25 as an individual.  The more you raise, the more prizes you are eligible for -  and the more our community cancer center benefits.

How many people can be on a team? 2 or 200 - as many as you want.

What is the Checkpoint Challenge? If you are looking for something fun to do during the day, you can hunt five famous Vail decks between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.  Pink Vail volunteers will be at the decks to punch your Pink Vail pass and give you a Pink Vail coin, which makes you eligible for end-of-day prizes.

What is the Celebration Ski Down? Survivors, friends and family and those skiing in honor of a loved one are invited to meet at Eagles Nest at 4 p.m. (at the top of the gondola). After a spirited rally, this group will ski down a freshly-groomed Simba into Lionshead Village to kick off the evening festivities.

Do you have to participate in Pink Vail to attend the Gomez concert? The free Gomez concert in Arabelle Square is open to the public, but we hope that you’ll sign up to support Shaw Regional Cancer Center.
