Why Sponsor The Great Ski Race?
The Great Ski Race is a highly anticipated annual event that brings together the Lake Tahoe community and skiers from all over the country. As a sponsor, you will have a unique opportunity to promote your brand to a dedicated audience of outdoor enthusiasts, families, and community supporters.
- Community Engagement: Show your commitment to the local community and support a vital non-profit organization.

Our Mission
All proceeds from The Great Ski Race directly benefit Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue (TNSAR). TNSAR is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to saving lives in the Tahoe backcountry. Your sponsorship is crucial for helping them fund critical equipment, training, and operational costs.
