Help us get more kids on skis!
This year, we teamed up with a bunch of great partners to raffle off some amazing prizes to support CTA Youth Programs, including hard goods, soft goods, overnight stays, touring packages, and more!
Our free youth programs use Nordic skiing to promote healthy lifestyles, increase engagement with nature, and expand access to winter outdoor activities.
- We ski with over 2,000 students each season!
- Our school-based programs take place at 25 schools around the state, spread across 11 of 14 counties.
- Our flagship Saturday program, Ski Cubs, works directly with over 100 underserved and multilingual newcomer students in the Burlington and Winooski school districts.
- Each season, over 90% of participants have never skied before signing up for a CTA program.
Please consider buying tickets to win some great prizes and help get more kids out on skis!
Raffle tickets: (1) for $20, (4) for $50, and (10) for $100
