SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

We kick off on Thursday with afternoon registration followed by a welcome cocktail reception.

Friday is an open day for skiing and riding, or your team can benefit from the expert on-course race coaching of Donna Weinbrecht, Olympic Freestyle Gold Medalist. Take a complimentary mountain tour with a Stowe Host or a ski or board lesson with an Instructor from the Stowe Ski and Snowboard School. Participate at a casual industry forum, where top financial marketers will share their insights on financial communications and the media landscape for 2010. In the evening, join us for a cocktail reception with fireworks and front-row viewing of Stowe’s famous Torchlight Parade of skiers and riders. This is followed by a very moving presentation by the charity representatives.

Later we’ll all congregate for live entertainment and networking.

The Saturday races – two ski or snowboard runs – followed late in the day by another industry forum with top marketers. Then join us for cocktails, dinner and music at the Awards reception at the Spruce Camp Base Lodge.

Sunday is an additional open ski day. Real courageous skiers and riders will gather for the early morning mountain adventure at 7:15 AM to ski with Stowe instructors on Mount Mansfield’s perfectly groomed slopes as they open to the public.

FAMILIES

For participants bringing the family, the Kids Mountain Adventure Program is set to provide slopeside daytime activities for all levels of skiers (ages 4-14) and riders (ages 5-14).
