2018-12-14 UPDATE: OUR GOAL WAS REACHED IN 4 DAYS!! I can't believe it. To my awesome friends, family and co-workers: Thank you so much for your insane generosity and support. It has been a very humbling experience for me.

While I've enjoyed snowboarding in mostly New England for the last 20 years and teaching my 3 beautiful kids how to shred the East by waking up at 5:00am for a chance at first chair, I've only very recently begun exploring the new world of splitboarding. And while I've climbed Mt. Washington with great friends many times in the Summer and Fall, this event will be my first attempt to ascend the highest peak in the Northeast on a splitboard in the heart of winter. I'll need all the support I can get and so does the great organization of Granite Backcountry Alliance to help expand our winter playground for generations to come.
Thank you for your support and for any donation you can contribute.

M.W. OTTO RHODE MEMORIAL SKIN & SKI
A novelty act but so what - it's cool! Honor our friend M.W. OTTO RHODE for his spring time access buy gently uphilling 7.6 miles to the summit (or 4 miles to treeline - whatever you decide!). There will be racing options as well as simply "social skinning". The fast descent will sure bring a smile to your face!
GBA is seeking funding for its glade projects coming up in 2019 and we have a LOT in store for this year! We can't wait.

The goal of Granite Backcountry Alliance is to advance the sport of backcountry skiing in New Hampshire and Western Maine by providing low-impact human-powered backcountry skiing opportunities to the public through the creation, improvement and maintenance of ski glades.
