PARTIALLY FUNDED athletes on the women’s alpine ski team are holding a fundraiser tonight in Aspen (Dec. 4) during the Aspen Winternational Women’s World Cup stop.
Caitlin Ciccone, Katie Hitchcock and Hailey Duke — World Cup, Europa Cup athletes and NorAm and national champions — will host the meet-and-greet at the Mountain Chalet (333 E. Durant Ave.) from 5 to 8 p.m.
Through this event, the women hope to capture new fans, raise funds to meet season expenses that can rise to more than $20,000 apiece, and meet local ski racing fans.
There also will be a silent auction with a wide array of donations from cheese to skis. The event is open to anyone. Tickets cost $75 at the door. Attire is classy casual.
Those who cannot make it to the event and would like to individually support an athlete may contact the women directly at the following e-mail addresses:
