AVSC SERVES OVER 3,000 LOCAL YOUTH.
THE AUDI AJAX CUP MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!
This year's 15th Annual Audi Ajax Cup—a celebration of our beloved sport, our beautiful mountains, and our generous, engaged mountain community - exceeded our goal and set a record of raising more than $1.3 million. While we finalize the numbers, we want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who made this event possible. Your support enables kids from all walks of life to hit the snow, regardless of their financial circumstances. With about 3,000 kids on snow these dollars will support our scholarship efforts in a very meaningful way.
Congratulations to the winning team, the Aspen Vikings, which included some of our very own AVSC skiers!
This event has grown year after year and means so much to all of us. We were fortunate to have incredible Co-Chairs, Alana Bly and Christine Heller, leading the way. A special thanks also goes out to our team buyers, professional racers, athletes, AVSC staff, and volunteers—your dedication is the foundation of AVSC, and you made this event a memorable success for everyone involved.
We are proud to consider the AJAX Cup one of the best community events in Aspen. This event wouldn’t have been possible without our generous sponsors and partners: Aspen Skiing Company, Audi, Gorsuch, KJUS, La Adelita, Dillon's Small Batch, Chukker TV, John Jett, The Little Nell and Matt Zubrod, Six Productions, , Hublot, Edmiston, EKS Events, Sam Ferguson, Sander Olson, and Pit Viper.
Thank you all for helping us stay focused on our mission: to provide all youth in the greater Roaring Fork Valley the opportunity to excel as athletes and as people through winter sports. And while the AJAX CUP is an alpine event, all of our disciplines, Snowboarding, Free Ride/Big Mountain, Nordic and Ski Mo, all benefit from this generous mountain communities support.
We are just a few days into 2025 and already excited to make this one of the best years yet—both on the mountain and in the pursuit of excellence!
