The Phil Bocks Memorial Ability Challenge ski race will team donors, sponsors, and disabled skiers for a fun day of ski racing and on-hill activities. The annual event hosts racers from all areas of the country, and this year marks the 18th annual competition. An après ski party and awards presentation follows in the Alpine Meadows Base Lodge.
