2026 H2H Fundraising Event: This season's theme is all about having FUN get your wig, your onesies and your groovy ski vibes and lets celebrate and fundraise for our favorite ski team, KSEF!

Fundraising: Athletes will create a profile and seek sponsorships through our Give Butter platform. Funds raised allow us to hire the best alpine racing staff in Tahoe and keep the program at an affordable cost. Tickets to all of the below events are available for purchase on this platform.

Race: Racer Ready!!! After registration, participants will be assigned to a team with a coach as the team leader. Parents will make up some teams, and kids will make up others—each team led by a coach to keep things organized and fun. Everyone will get the chance to ski two runs at full speed, focusing on fun, camaraderie, and team building rather than results. We'll break for lunch on the hill, then head back up for the second run. Come dressed up in your wig and onesie and have some fun with your KSEF Family.
