Runs for Buns 2026 – Ski and Snowboard for a CauseJoin us on Saturday, March 7, 2026, for Runs for Buns, an exciting event benefiting the Colon Cancer Coalition. This annual ski and snowboard challenge is your chance to enjoy a full day on the slopes while supporting a vital cause. Our goal is to raise $100,000, and we need your help to make it happen!
How It Works
Participants will ski or snowboard throughout the day, with every run tracked at Lift 5 gates. Whether you’re an individual or part of a team, every run you complete counts toward awards and bragging rights. The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., so get ready to hit the slopes all day long.
