Legends of American skiing, including Olympians Julia Mancuso, Jonny Moseley, Shannon Bahrke, Marco Sullivan, and Tamara McKinney, will hit the slopes at Squaw Valley on April 7 for the first Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows U.S. Ski Team Day.

Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal will also appear as a special guest.

Supporters of the event, which will raise funds for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation, have an opportunity to spend the day skiing with U.S. Ski Team and Squaw Valley athletes, Olympians and alumni on the slopes of Squaw Valley. The event will also feature a U.S. Ski Team Pro-Am Race with afternoon activities including a public autograph session on the KT Deck and live music by San Francisco band Tea Leaf Green. The day will conclude with a star-studded après ski party at the Olympic Village Lodge.

Funds generated through the Squaw Valley event will support elite athlete training, development, competition and educational needs in the critical years leading up to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. In addition to supporting the U.S. Ski Team, a portion of the funds raised will go directly to the Squaw Valley Ski Team.

Pro-Am Race entry begins at a $1,000 entry donation per team sponsorship or a $200 donation per racer.
