Over £3500 raised for GB skiing.

** UPDATED 20 Jan 2023 **

To celebrate Bear Lodge being voted Best New Ski hotel in the World Ski Awards™ we auctioned two 7-night stays at the Lodge, with all funds raised going into the Winter Sports Foundation to support our sponsored GB skier, Max Laughland. There was no reserve, the 7-night stays would go to the two highest bidders !

We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who placed a bid. Your support and generosity has raised £3,513 for Max Laughland and we're looking forward to welcoming the bid winners to Bear Lodge later this season.

To support GB Skiing

This auction was run exclusively to help raise funds for our sponsored young GB skier, all monies raised went into Max’s Skier’s Trust Fund. If you didn’t see it, we introduced Max Laughland, an up-and-coming GB skier, in a recent blog post.

Money raised will help towards to the considerable training, transport and accommodation costs as Max races at events across Europe with the goal of qualifying for the 2023 World Junior Championships.
