Findley Lake, NY -

Western New York State's Peek’n Peak ski resort will host a Jeep Terrain Park Challenge grassroots qualifier event for amateur skiers and snowboarders of all ages on Saturday, Jan. 20, from 10 a.m. to noon.
The Jeep Terrain Park Challenge is a national ski and snowboard amateur series that has expanded to 75 events held across North America in 2007. Hosted by ski resorts and snow sport clubs across the country, the Terrain Park Challenge invites all skiers and boarders to show their moves on the rails, jumps and other terrain park obstacles. The top female and male ski and snowboard participants from each Jeep Terrain Park host site will advance to one of six regional competitions. The top finisher in the four categories from each regional event earns a spot in the finals, to be held in Sugar Bowl, Calif. on March 10.
“We are excited to be a part of this high-profile, national event which encourages skiers and snowboarders to show off their skills, have fun and earn bragging rights,” said Chip Day, Vice President, Brand Management, Peek’n Peak Resort.
All participants have a chance to win giveaways from Jeep, Rossignol, John Paul Mitchell, Columbia Sportswear and Scott USA. Registration is from 9 to 10 a.m. Participants must have a valid lift ticket. Helmets are required.
Donations collected at the Terrain Park Challenge directly benefit the Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis, a non-profit organization founded in 1984 by former Olympic ski racer, Jimmie Heuga. Last year, the Jeep Terrain Park Challenge raised more than $4,000 to benefit the Heuga Center. The funds help the center conduct 60 wellness programs across the country for the 400,000 people and families in the U.S. living with this incurable disease.
