Thank You!
Thanks to the racers, the volunteers, the sponsors, the scholarship applicants and of course Steamboat Resort and their team for hosting and helping to make each Challenge a skimo event to remember. Even though this year was a bit different, the same enthusiasm as always was present at the 13th Cody’s Challenge!
And of course thanks also to the Steamboat Ski Patrol and all Ski Patrollers for all that they do for us on the mountain.
Thanks for helping us achieve our mission in supporting ski patrollers and keeping Cody’s memory and spirit alive.
