In its 23rd year, the Vertical Express for MS is a series of on-snow events to benefit The Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis — a nonprofit organization that allows people with MS to live full, productive lives.

For the past two decades a dedicated group of enthusiastic skiers have gathered at Squaw Valley USA each winter to ski, raise money for the Heuga Center, and spend a memorable weekend with friends. The 2008 Vertical Express for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), presented by Fred Alger Management EMD Serono, Inc./Pfizer Inc and Rolex Watch USA, hits the slopes of Squaw Valley USA on March 1-2.
Squaw Valley was Jimmie Heuga’s home mountain, the place he trained to win the Bronze medal in the Men’s Downhill in the 1964 Olympics. Today, Jimmie’s enthusiastic spirit and connection to Squaw Valley continues to help motivate participants in the annual Squaw Valley USA Vertical Express.

Teams of three skiers/riders raise a minimum of $1,000 to enter the Vertical Express for MS. The day’s activities include on-snow events, exciting prizes, complimentary lift tickets, food and goodie bags. Those who can’t attend are invited to participate on-line by supporting another team.
