Not to be too rude, but this must be the dumbest run foundation ever.
I almost wrote this last year when I saw the now annual news article (last year they were brilliant enough to give money to Vail of all places. So let's see, Vail ski club has a >$1.5M budget; but they need a special $10K grant for safety fencing? Are you kidding?).
As if the wealthiest race teams ever seen in the US (Aspen, Vail, Stowe, GMVS, etc.. ) can't find $10K to buy & Install fencing or etc... for safety? 100% of all these safety funds/grants should be going to the hundreds of ever struggling small & mid-sized race programs that without grants may never be able to afford such additional safety equipment. DUMB. DUMB. DUMB. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) :evil: :evil: :evil:
I feel much better now, thanks.

Among the recipients are some of the most prestigious racing programs in the nation including the Mount Mansfield Ski Club at Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont and the Aspen Valley Ski Club at Aspen in Colorado. Each club won a $10,000 grant earmarked for enhancing safety on the trails where their young racers train and race.
