After biathlon at Crosscut, we’ll head over to our neighbors at Bridger Bowl to enjoy drinks and a delicious BBQ dinner.

 

Bid on Auction Items

Our online auction kicks off on Tuesday, October 15th and ends during the event. You can participate from home, but being at the BBQ gives you a front-row seat to all the action.
