On behalf of the Youth Winter Sports Alliance and our member clubs, I would like to thank Canyons for their support of the Alliance Benefit Day Farewell to Winter from March 24 to April 14, 2013. All the proceeds from the sales of donated lift tickets directly benefit the youth in this community participating in winter sports.

Ticket purchasers shredded the fresh snow and were treated to Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, with a free concert in the Canyons village. Don’t miss out on this one next year!

The Youth Winter Sports Alliance is a nonprofit organization, which organizes the after-school Get Out & Play Program and serves thirteen different winter sports clubs, touching the lives of over 1,900 youth in the greater Park City area. Participants learn about commitment and hard work, as well as sportsmanship and respect. Whether for recreational participants or elite athletes, involvement in sports programs builds character in a positive, structured environment.

Thank you, Canyons, for believing in the dreams of our youth!
