SOLD OUT!!
Once again, your response to the gourmet ski has been fantastic. We are currently sold out for the gourmet ski, but still have room to attend the Wells Mountain Film Festival at 7 pm that night, if you are from the region. Thanks to all our supporters.
Saturday February 18, 2023
The Wells International Gourmet Ski has been the main fundraiser for WATS for over 10 years. Participants get to experience a few of the things that make Wells great: the skiing, the company, the gorgeous natural setting, and the delicious food produced in our humble kitchens!
Ski as much or as little as you would like, eat fantastic International cuisine at four food stations along the way, and join us for hot drinks and desserts at the finale. Get dressed up in your most ridiculous costumes for a chance to win great prizes! Stay in Wells for the evening and join us at the Sunset Theatre for our popular Winter Film Fest.
Registration is limited and we frequently sell out. Registration will be on-line and will open in early January. You will receive confirmation emails for your registration and for your payment. (Be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t get them)
Sorry, REGISTER link NOW closed!
