Janss Pro-Am returns April 5-7

‘Vintage’ is the theme

The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation has announced plans for its 15th annual Janss Pro-Am Classic.

The race, one of the SVSEF's most successful fundraisers, is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday, April 5-7. Investment bank Stifel Nicolaus Weisel is title sponsor.

Ski and snowboard participants will race dual giant slalom with ski professionals and former Olympians, Pro Tour and World Cup racers.

This year's Janss pros will include Casey Puckett, Langely McNeal, Scott Macartney, Libby Ludlow, Kyle Wieche, Chris Puckett, Christin Cooper, Jonna Mendes and Zach Crist.

Each team will also have a "junior pro," a current athlete selected from the SVSEF teams.

The Janss Classic always features costumes, and this year's event theme is "vintage." Teams will pick a favorite era, sports team, film, book or TV show and dress in their "vintage" best.

Event registration is currently open. People can take part as a corporate team sponsor, team sponsor, individual racer or guest. All abilities are encouraged.

Highlights include a Pro Welcome Party at the Olympic Bar at Michel's Christiania in Ketchum, an après-ski Classic Martini Party at Whiskey Jacques' sponsored by American Harvest Organic Spirits, hosted breakfasts and lunches, and the Saturday night awards banquet at the Sun Valley Limelight Room.

Named for former Sun Valley Resort owner and Olympian Bill Janss, the event raises money to support nearly 500 young athletes who participate on alpine, cross-country, freestyle and snowboard teams.
