Conquer the Springs and Tailgate Party

This Saturday, February 20th, the Mon Valley Ski Club will be hosting the first ever Conquer the Springs Race, followed by a tailgate party. All club members and guests are invited to join in the fun. 

Teams of 4-6 will race across the entire mountain to 8 designated checkpoints. First team to collect a photo with all team members in front of all 8 check points, and makes it back to the rally point first wins.

Sign up in the North Face parking lot from 10:30-11:00am at the rally point. Race starts at 11:15am.

The Sign In and Rally point is the at the MVSC tailgate location. See the map below.

5. Once you reach the end rally point and have obtained all 8 checkpoints, end your time by taking a picture of a cell phone clock and the Ridgelines front license plate.
