Ski to Defeat ALS Mt Hood

Legendary Mt Hood skiier, Fred Noble became an ALS (Lou Gehrigs' disease) patient in December, 2011.  He is leading an event to raise money for the ALS society of Oregon at Mt. Hood Meadows on April 14,2012.
Check the blog www.frednobleadventure.com for a link to the event and to learn more about the organization and the disease.
Individuals or teams can register until April 6, 2012.  The goal is to ski the most vertical in a day.  Lift ticket, food, beer included in entry.
I am signed up as an individual and am making the trip from the high country of western Nebraska, if you want to donate follow links.
My interest arises from memories of seeing the inspirational photos of Fred in the Alpenstube at Meadows back then, and my sister also has ALS.
