The Mothership Classic

The Mothership Classic is a pledge-driven event held each spring on the world’s greatest chairlift, KT-22. Participants rally their supporters and gather pledges leading up to the big day. When the event kicks off, each rider challenges themselves to hot-lap KT-22 from first chair to last on skinny skis, retro snowboards, mono skis, snow blades, and more. Nostalgic ski attire is highly encouraged, making for a full-on throwback celebration on the mountain.

How to Participate

The Mothership Classic
Born from a partnership between Arcade Belts and the High Fives Foundation, the Mothership Classic is a bell-to-bell Shred-A-Thon on KT-22 fueled by laps, costumes, and community. Locals and diehards rally to chase turns, raise funds for #HighFivesAthletes, and turn an all-time ski day into something bigger.

Why Shred?
Fundraising unlocks a discounted lift ticket, a stacked swag box, lunch, entry into all challenges and awards, plus access to the après party and celebration. Raise more → win more.

Event Day Vibes
Nonstop laps from first chair to last call, pop-up challenges, vendor village hangs, and friendly competition. Costumes highly encouraged.

Awards & Challenges
Top Adaptive Athlete • King, Queen & Grom of the Hill • Best Costume (Adult + Grom) • First to Chair 5 & 55

Après, the High Fives Way
When the lifts stop spinning, the celebration begins—awards, stories, and high-fives all around. Come for the laps, stay for the community, and leave knowing you helped keep athletes on snow.

Participants must raise a minimum of $200 to qualify to participate in the Green Mountain Open.
