THANK YOU ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND DONATED; YOU HELPED MAKE THE PINK CHASE A GREAT SUCCESS!

With over $30,000 fundraised for the breast cancer research, 687,260 vertical feet logged, and an assortment of creative pink costumes, the Pink Chase was a huge success! 19 teams combining a total of 57 women-skiers, snowboarders, tele skiers of varying ages-- youthful 23 year olds to bright eyed 56 year olds participated in the Pink Chase Fundraiser at Keystone Resort, CO on December 12th. Despite the frigid temperatures, the women arrived in the early hours, energetic, and dressed from head to toe in an array of pink costumes—full piece bunny suits to Lady Gaga impersonators (Gaga for Gnar of course!), snow angels, and pink capes ready for a day of riding. Apres started promptly at 3PM at Parrot Eyes, followed by the awards ceremony (and raffle), mc'ed by K2's very own Michael Powell. Tons of giveaways from our sponsors. PINK Hats were the hit, and the party didn't stop till DJ Shares turned off his turn tables.

Be sure to check out the photos from the event on the slideshow above! Hope to see you all and your friends back next year! Check back in the spring for details on PINK CHASE 2010!
