White Peaks Ski & Board Challenge (15-18 March 2008) - now taking places!

Can you ski or board 24 peaks in 48 hours? Our guides will push you to your limits to cover 130km of top-class piste in the heart of Austria – the equivalent of skiing down Everest twice! It's a weekend of pure adrenaline!

2008 will be the tenth year of Scope organising the White Peaks Ski and Board Challenge with over 950 people now having taken part and a phenomenal £1.5 million being raised. We are looking to attract 150 skiers and boarders onto the 2008 Challenge to bring the total number of White Peaks Challengers over the 1,000 mark, and we aim to raise over £250,000 from the event. This unique event is the UK's largest charity ski and board challenge.

6 RESORTS, 6 DAYS, 150,000 VERTICAL FEET — a master class in endurance!

Following on from the success of our brilliant Colorado Challenge, we are taking the challenge to the fabulous Utah! Utah boasts "the best snow on earth" and who are we to dispute this?!
