Our 38th season of the Ski Challenge has wrapped up! It was a great year!

Despite the crazy weather year, we pulled off another fun-filled season! Our 2023 season started off with cancellations due to too much snow, had some cold temps and then rain thrown in during mid-season, and then had to deal with more heavy snow on the tail end. Thanks to the ski areas and Midwest Masters for helping us to get our final year-end races in. Our weather and conditions at Giants Ridge couldn't have been more perfect! It was a great finish to the season.

REGULAR SEASON / NASTAR Open Races.

We had more than 5,200 regular-season race results throughout the season—close to 1,500 for Wild Mountain and 3,300 for Buck Hill. We had 255 Saturday night NASTAR finishes at Buck Hill this season.

CHAMPIONSHIPS

223 individuals participated in our Championships at Giants Ridge. We had close to 1,000 individual race starts in the two days of competition.

THANK YOU!

A BIG thank you to our participating ski areas and their staff at Buck Hill, Wild Mountain, and Giants Ridge. Also, thank you to all our participating Sponsors. We couldn't do it without our great Ski Challenge staff and most of all, we thank all the Ski Challenge racers for all your support and continued participation.

Dedication to Sara Bauer from Guys & Dolls – 2023

The following is a letter that the 2023 "Guys & Dolls" team shared with us.

To Friends and Fellow Racers of Sara Bauer:

Guys and Dolls wanted to share that we dedicate the Guys and Dolls 2023 D2 win to our friend and sister in skiing Sara Bauer.

Sara corralled up this team of diverse people and made us into this crazy close team. She had high standards of attendance, training and performance (you didn’t want to be on the “naughty list!”)! She (strongly) encouraged that we all get on the Atomic Redsters (we all did)! She wrangled us all up to State for the first time in 2021 and led us to the D2 victory–a first for the team, founded in 1997 by Queen Judy Alm, who handed the torch to Sara in 2016. This win was such a proud and special moment for Sara! Hella celebration ensued…(it went on monthly from house to house).

In 2022 only the team knew that her cancer recurred–and we lost her on April 11, 2022. We were heartbroken to lose our “Fearless Leader” (aka Sara’s signature).
