The WinterKids Downhill 24 is a 24-hour ski and ride challenge at Sugarloaf that supports WinterKids’ mission to get all Maine kids active outdoors in winter.
Teams hit the slopes day and night, raising funds to help children move, learn, and explore through joyful winter play.
It’s a celebration of community and the magic of Maine’s longest season!

We Did It!
After 24 incredible hours on the mountain, the results are in. Our Downhill 24 community raised $592,700 to support WinterKids programs!
To every participant who gave their legs, their lungs, and their hearts to this event, thank you.
And to everyone who donated, cheered, and believed in what we’re doing, this wouldn’t have happened without you.
Here’s to the kids who will get outside, get active, and fall in love with winter because of what you did.
Cheer. Ski. Ride. Raise. Repeat.
