SKI THE TRAILS

Ski the Trails is a story of a friendly competition that became a fundraiser. In 2010, Dr. Phil Dopp and Dr. Jamie Curran, dared each other to ski all of the trails at Hiawatha Highlands. Each of them met the challenge, (which is no small feat at 34 kilometres!) and were left wanting more.

Inspired by their achievement, they set a new goal: why not motivate others and turn their passion for skiing and healthcare into a fundraiser for the hospital?

Ski the Trails has now raised over $175,000 for medical equipment at Sault Area Hospital, and is an event that many look forward to every year!
