Monster Ski Charity Challenge Seeks Participants

Published : 12-Aug-2010 04:41

A charity that supports people living with multiple sclerosis is looking for skiers and snowboarders to sign up for its upcoming Monster Ski event in France next February.

Monster Ski is an endurance challenge to ski 90,000 vertical feet over the three days and is organized exclusively for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust for skiers of intermediate standard and above. Participants will be skiing the vertical of Mount Everest every day for the three days in Tignes from 3rd to 7th February 2011.

"It might sound daunting, but if you are a confident and capable skier or snowboarder, with a good level of fitness, it should be within your grasp. This charity event offers you a unique way to experience the expansive Espace Killy ski area, whilst being part of something really special to benefit people living with a difficult life-long condition." said an MS Trust spokesperson.


It costs £150 to register for Monster Ski and each participant will be required to raise a minimum of £1,700 in sponsorship for the MS Trust. Included in this price are flights and transfers, accommodation (half board), a three day lift pass and ski guides.

Previous Monster Ski events in Colorado, Engelberg and Whistler have raised over £250,000 to support the MS Trust's vital work.

"This is your chance to put your passion to a good cause and help people living with MS today. The Monster Ski experience will leave you with a real sense of achievement and fantastic memories that will stay with you forever." Say the MS Trust.

For more information contact Laura Percival at the MS Trust on 01462 476707 or download a registration pack from: www.mstrust.org.uk/monsterski

The event will be the fourth following previous Monster Ski events in Colorado; Engelberg and last season in Whistler.
