Big Sky Youth Empowerment Brings Pros To Big Sky

Big Sky Resort, The Billy Poole Memorial Fund and Big Sky Youth Empowerment (BYEP) invite you to join us for the third annual collaboration at Big Sky Resort.  On February 5 & 6, professional skiers and snowboarders will join BYEP groups to shred the slopes at Big Sky in memory of ski legend Billy Poole and in support of BYEP’s adventure-based mentoring programs for local, at-risk youth. 

On Friday night at 8:00p.m., The Pour House (a popular bar/restaurant in Bozeman, MT) is hosting a fundraising/poster-signing event for the public in support of the Billy Poole Memorial Fund.  Athletes will then partner with BYEP groups to ski and ride on Saturday and Sunday at Big Sky Resort. 

On Saturday afternoon, at 3pm, the pros will assemble at the base of the Big Sky Resort for a public poster-signing event.  Over 20 pro athletes will be on hand for poster signing and a meet and greet, including Julian Carr, Jamie Pierre, Rachel Burkes, Wiley Miller and many more, the public is encouraged to stop by and hang out with these amazing skiers and riders.
