The event begins at 9:00 a.m. with a group ride at Mountain High’s West Resort.

“We’re thrilled to be part of this fun event again this year with Mountain High,” said Chris Steinkamp, Protect Our Winters executive director. “Not only is it a lot of fun, it provides us with resources to protect the winter season that we all depend on. We are thankful to Mountain High for tackling this issue in such a fun way."
