The 14th Annual Northeast Delta Dental Ski Day was held on January 8, 2012, at the Attitash Mountain Ski Resort in Bartlett, New Hampshire. This event helps raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire and is held in conjunction with their Vertical Challenge Race Series, a free race open to all ages and abilities. Northeast Delta Dental race participants included Tom Raffio, Patti Capone, Jim Jensen (with the best Northeast Delta Dental race time of 24:60!), Jim Green and Jake Bowser.
Every year invited guests include our participating dentists and office staff, Northeast Delta Dental Board members, and Northeast Delta Dental employees and their family members. Fifty friends joined us at our outing this year. Lift tickets were free for the day, courtesy of Northeast Delta Dental, and toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss were handed out to everyone who visited our hospitality tent. The weather was perfect for a fun-filled day of downhill skiing and snowboarding followed by a huge après-ski party with music, games and prizes, and raffles that raised $600. A contest was held to see who was the best at brushing their teeth and all were winners!
