Senior Winter Challenge and Festival

There will also be a Banquet Dinner on Saturday night, followed by a Fireworks Display.
If you want to spend time on the slopes, don’t worry; the challenge won’t hog all the snow. Dodge Ridge has 832 skiable acres, 62 runs and 1,600 vertical feet that you can take advantage of during the Senior Winter Challenge and Festival.
