California Mothership Classic 3/22
The Mothership Classic
Born from a partnership between Arcade Belts and the High Fives Foundation, the Mothership Classic is a full-throttle Shred-A-Thon fueled by laps, community, and purpose. Every year, locals and diehards gather on KT-22 to chase bell-to-bell laps, rock ridiculous costumes, and throw down for #HighFivesAthletes.
This isn’t just another ski day — it’s a challenge, a celebration, and a whole lot of fun wrapped into one unforgettable on-snow experience.
How It Works
Build a Team. Rally Your Crew. Shred Hard.
Create or join a team and start fundraising. The Mothership Classic is pledge-driven, meaning the more you raise, the more perks, prizes, and bragging rights you unlock. Name your team something outrageous and get after it.
Fundraise $200+ to Unlock the Full Experience
Once you hit $200, you’re officially cleared for launch. Think NASCAR-style sponsorship: hype the mission, phone a friend, and stack those pledges.
Your fundraising unlocks:
- Discounted lift ticket
- A stacked swag box loaded with premium gear
- Lunch on event day
- Entry into all challenges and awards
- Access to the après party, awards, and celebration
Raise more → win more. That’s the game.
Event Day Vibes
