IALD Rocky Mountain: Ski Day 2026

Join the IALD Rocky Mountain chapter for the most anticipated day of the year as we head "on a safari" up to Breckenridge for a great time on the slopes!

Safari on the Slopes: A Wild Ski Day Adventure!

Get ready to trade your snow goggles for binoculars and join us for the 2026 IALD Safari on the Slopes, a ski day where the mountain meets the savanna. Whether you're a snow leopard on the black diamonds or a chill giraffe cruising the greens, this is your chance to show off your wild side. So grab your herd, channel your inner adventurer, and let’s make tracks on this unforgettable expedition!
