Mt. Washington Valley Ski-A-Thon New Hampshire

The Ditch Diggers - Rich & Olivier's Bi-Skiing Team

Welcome to "The Ditch Diggers" fundraising page for the AbilityPLUS Mount Washington Valley Ski-a-Thon at Wildcat Mountain on March 3.  Your sponsors for this page are Olivier Roguet, who has all the fun skiing in the bi-ski, and me, Rich Staples, who has to follow him everywhere he goes because I'm tethered to him so he doesn't end up somewhere he shouldn't.  (Actually, I have a lot of fun, too!)

For three seasons now, Olivier and I have had a great time bi-skiing at Attitash and Wildcat, but every once in a while he strays off the trail into the ditch and if I'm not paying attention, I go in there with him!

So please help me dig Olivier out of The Ditch and get us back on our way down the mountain by making a contribution to our team!

To see us skiing together when we're not digging out, check out our YouTube video link, and we also posted several pictures linked to Flickr that show Olivier's family and mine, plus some of the beautiful scenery we enjoy - and a few OOPS! moments along the way!

Skiing for Joy - and for AbilityPLUS!

Rich & Olivier

P.S.  Come join us at Wildcat on March 3 and celebrate at the Ski-a-Thon's Apres Ski Party with raffles, food and more!  Details at www.abilityplus.org.
