Cascade Challenge Update



As the seasons change, the CC is getting ready to release it's Official Website.  The Team is dusting off and waxing their ski and snowboard equipment in preparation for the 2010-2011 snow season.  Combined the team has at least 40 years of glorious skiing in the Cascade Range.  As we enter into our winter training session you will be seeing us all over the various resorts and sweet back-country locations in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and even California.

On the fund-raising side of things, Eddie Bauer / First Ascent wants to sponsor the expedition as a Primary Sponsor.  The Cascade Challenge Team is excited to work with Eddie Bauer and they actually have a lengthy history of supporting some of the early first ascents in American History.  The team believes First Ascent Outerwear is multi-functional and is looking forward to working with Eddie Bauer during the course of the Expedition.
