Snow Sports at Thunder Ridge
Join us for a free snow sports day on Thunder Ridge with your family — ski or snowboard (equipment & instruction available if needed!)
ShredVets is a volunteer, veteran-run, veteran only snowsports peer group that offers small group outings at no-cost and for all levels.
Thunder Ridge has 22 trails, 3 chairlifts, and 4 magic carpets so there are options for slow, gentle slopes for beginners as well as advanced trails for experienced, adventurous skiers & snowboarders.
We hope you'll join our experience with ShredVets — feel free to bring your family, and if someone isn’t comfortable hitting the slopes, they can still come to the lodge to hang out (food available).
WHO: Veterans, first responders, and their immediate family
WHEN: Friday, February 23 @ 2 - 8 pm ET
WHERE: Thunder Ridge Ski Area, 137 Birch Hill Rd, Patterson, NY 12563
Note:
Participate on the hill or simply enjoy hanging out in the lodge with us!
No prior experience necessary! There will be instructors on site for requested lessons.
Equipment available if needed
ShredVets
ShredVets seek to get veterans together in small groups, outdoors for skiing or snowboarding, regardless of skill level. The cost of these sports can be prohibitive, and ShredVet's generous contributors donate most of the high cost items to make these activities more accessible.
The goal is to get vets enjoying the winter outdoors with peers — but we know that other good things can come from being out there together: camaraderie, sense of team, mutual support, learning a new skill, fitness, new friends, and more.
G-Connect Experiences
