06 Mar SAN MIGUEL ONE TO ONE: THE DERBY IS BACK
After a five-year time out, One to One’s Cardboard Sled Derby is back and better than ever for kids ages 5-17 from Telluride, Norwood, Mountain Village, Ridgeway, Ouray, and beyond!
“We ran the Cardboard Sled Derby for 11 straight years, then took a break. If we can make this year’s event as much of a success as the races in years past, Telski will allow us to repeat the fun next year and the years after,” said Rick Fusting, board chair, One to One.”The event is free and I encourage all kids to participate. And parents, you can’t imagine how much fun it is to build a sled with your son or daughter. Sponsors, we need your support too. Your participation allows us to keep the derby free and open to the general public.”
It starts with imagination, then add cardboard, duct-tape, paint. Bring your masterpiece to the Telluride Ski Resort, Lift 2 on Sunday, March 24. Registration for One to One’s biggest youth and family event of the year is at 9:30 a.m. Race time is 10:30 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers for speed, and creativity.
