The MS Trust is looking for participants for its charity fundraiser ski event in Chamonix next March.
The aim of the event is to ski the 30,000ft height of Mount Everest in vertical every day over three days between 13-17 March 2015 to raise funds to help people with multiple sclerosis.
Any skiers or boarders wishing to take part are asked to raise pay £150 now to register, and the commit to raise at least £1,500 in sponsorship. The charity which is looking to find 25 participants, provides lots of help and advice in the fund raising and connecting up participants ahead of the event to share ideas.
Speaking about last season's challenge, earlier this year, participant Sarah Burgess from Southampton, said, "The trip was jam-packed from start to finish but the camaraderie was excellent and everyone returned home feeling accomplished and proud of our achievements."
Included in the package are the price of flights and transfers, accommodation (bed and breakfast), a three day lift pass and ski guides who will lead participants in small groups during the challenge. Monster Ski travel is run by leading independent ski tour operator Ski Independence (www.ski-i.com).
Previous Monster Ski events held in Colorado, Engelberg, Whistler, Tignes and Chamonix have raising over £400,000 since the first event in 2008.
"I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a ski trip with a difference – pushing yourself to the limit on the slopes, whilst at the same time raising money for a great cause," added Sarah.
