Story

We are thrilled to announce the return of The 10th Annual Backcountry Bow Wow, our annual fundraising event hosted by the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association (PCPSPA). Joining us at this year’s event are Solitude Ski Patrol Union and Park City Lift Maintenance Professional Union, both of whom are members of the United Mountain Workers (UMW) union. This event takes place on Saturday, March 22 at The Marquis - Park City and promises to be an evening filled with fun, community spirit, and meaningful impact.

The past season was significant for our ski patrol and community. During the Park City Ski Patrol strike, your incredible support enabled us to advocate for fair wages and better working conditions, ensuring the safety and well-being of both our patrollers and those we serve. The funds raised by this community during that time were essential in supporting our patrollers, and we cannot thank you enough for standing with us.

Building on this solidarity, The Backcountry Bow Wow is more important than ever! Proceeds from this event will be shared among organizations and initiatives that directly impact our mountain community, including local units of the United Mountain Workers and nonprofits who serve this community, including WBR and The Mountain Training Center

Event Highlights:

Live Music: Enjoy a performance by Pixie and the Party Grass Boys!
Silent Auction & Raffles: Bid on incredible items and experiences generously donated by local businesses and supporters.
Community Celebration: Gather with friends, family, and fellow outdoor enthusiasts to support a great cause.
