Team Summit Ski Ball
The Team Summit Ski Ball is our premier annual fundraising celebration, bringing together athletes, families, alumni, supporters, and community partners in support of Team Summit Colorado and the next generation of mountain athletes.
Founded by Dave and Renie Gorsuch 46 years ago, the Ski Ball celebrates the impact of youth sports in Summit County. The evening is where our mountain community raises critical funds for scholarships, coaching, athlete development, travel assistance, and programming that help young athletes pursue their personal podiums both on and off the mountain.
The Ski Ball has become one of Team Summit Colorado’s most meaningful traditions. This black-tie affair reflects the spirit, generosity, and passion that define our mountain community. The Ski Ball brings together families, alumni, community partners, and supporters of mountain athletics in celebration of Team Summit Colorado and the next generation of athletes.
An Evening of Celebration & Fundraising
The 46th Annual Ski Ball is an evening centered on community, celebration, and support for the next generation of mountain athletes. Guests enjoy cocktails, dinner, fundraising games, live entertainment, and both silent and live auctions throughout the night.
Auctions feature exclusive experiences, travel opportunities, outdoor adventures, dining packages, gear, and more donated by local businesses and supporters. Silent auction bidding will once again be available both online and in person, allowing supporters near and far to participate.
The true excitement of the Ski Ball comes from bringing together community partners, alumni, families, and supporters for an unforgettable evening to secure the future of Team Summit Colorado and our mountain community.
