So tired of walking on ice down in Missoula; maybe I'll try the highlands

Proceeds from Discovery ski tickets to benefit Max Wave

Let’s all ski and snowboard next Sunday in the name of surfing.
On Dec. 19, Discovery Ski Area, located near Georgetown Lake,  is donating $10 of every $38 adult lift ticket sold to The Max Wave.
The Max Wave is a Missoula organization that is raising funds to build a new wave on the Clark Fork River in downtown Missoula.
“It is important to give back to the communities who support us every winter,” said Ciche Pitcher, vice president of operations at Discovery. “Many skiers and boarders are also river runners, and Missoula’s surf waves provide a fantastic summer activity for all ages and a popular attraction to western Montana.”
The wave was named in honor of Max Lentz, a 17-year-old Hellgate High School student, who died in a kayak accident in 2007 on West Virginia’s Gauley River.
The wave will be located close to McCormick Park, across from Ogren Park Allegiance Field.
Let’s hit the slopes and feel warm and fuzzy doing it. Buy a lift ticket at Discovery Ski Area on Sunday, Dec. 19.
