Back in the 1980’s, the A-Basin Enduro was created for the love of Pallavicini. Old Pali-Heads would rack up as many laps as possible on some of the best terrain around. Now, while the Enduro still honors this lift, it has evolved to play an important role in our community. Each year, all proceeds from the Enduro and the Après Party go to benefit someone who is a part of our A-Basin community and has fallen on hard times.
The Enduro is a heartfelt event. It’s a reminder of what’s important. It’s a time for friends old and new to gather at the Center of the Universe and celebrate life. On the 36th Annual Enduro we were reminded of those who skied Pali before us. We remembered those who are no longer with us, we celebrated them along with those still surrounding us, and we pass the love of skiing this terrain to yet another generation.
At 7 AM sharp, the explosive was set off and 35 teams of two raced towards their skis. These teams lapped our double-black Pali terrain for 10 hours, until 5 PM. At 5:30 PM, we ate a home cooked meal by our chefs at The Basin, drank at the 6th Alley, and auctioned off items to benefit one of our own. We had a great time.
