Park City Aims for New Shot Ski World Record

The latest stage of a long running contest between two famous US ski towns is set to go down on October 12th when Park City, Utah, will aim to win back the record for the most people drinking a shot from a shot ski simultaneously.
In fact, it's not just one shot ski but a ski in hundreds of sections lined up along side each other down main street. Park city has been battling Colorado's Breckenridge for the title for years now with both ski towns raising large sums for charities in the process.
Last year's event in Park City set a new world record with a 900 metre (2,950-foot) long shot ski serving 1,363 shots simultaneously using 551 skis end to end. It raised over $40,000 for the local Rotary Club's grant program. 1,363 shots were downed simultaneously.
The local High West Distillery serves the High West Double Rye whiskey poured in to the 1300+ shot glasses balanced on the section of ski are this year's 8th annual Park City Sunrise Shot Ski is aiming to raise $60,000 for local grant programs. This year participants are asked to donate $30 for their place in the line and shot of whiskey.
"Thanks to our generous, enthusiastic community, the Park City Sunrise Shot Ski™ continues to break records and raise meaningful dollars to support our local grant programs," said Park City Sunrise Rotary Club Member Connie Nelson. "We invite participants to purchase their tickets or secure a sponsorship opportunity for an even greater impact on this year's event."
