SNOWSHOE, West Virginia — Snowshoe Mountain announced today the resort will play host to a Susan G. Komen Ski for the Cure event Saturday, February 28th. The Komen Foundation supports a variety of events nationwide aimed at raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The Ski for the Cure event will feature $100 lift tickets available for Feb 28, with $55 of the ticket price going directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Participants will also be eligible for discounted $45 lift tickets for Friday, February 27 and Sunday, March 1.

In order to identify fellow survivors and supporters, participants will be asked to sport a bright pink boa throughout the weekend.

In addition to the boa, guests purchasing the $100 ticket will be invited to the Friday Night Welcome Party, which will feature complimentary appetizers; a special Happy Hour on Saturday at the Moonshine Pub; and a Pink Party under The Big Top on Saturday night. The Pink Party will feature a DJ, special pink drinks, and fun and games for the whole family. Live entertainment and pink drink specials will also be featured at Saturday’s Happy Hour gathering.
