NAME A SKI SLOPE, HONOR A PASSION
THOMPSONVILLE,
MICH. – If you’re an alpine sports lover or know someone who is, here’s your opportunity to honor that passion and contribute to a great cause. Michigan Legacy Art Park, an outdoor sculpture park located on 30-acres of land at Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa in Thompsonville (
Michigan) is auctioning the naming rights to one of
Crystal’s newest downhill slopes.
The
Crystal
Mountain slope, currently designated “N-11,” is being auctioned off by the Art Park in an online auction at www.NameTheSlope.comand will culminate with a final round of ‘live’ bidding at
Crystal
Mountain on Saturday, April 25th. Online bidders are invited to participate, either in-person or via proxy, at the ‘live’ bidding event, which has been spirited in the past.
Two years ago,
Crystal
Mountain gave the Art Park a similar opportunity. A group of over 200 family, friends and customers of a long-time ski shop owner in the
Grand Rapids area named a slope as a surprise to the shop owner. As a tribute to both he and his late wife, the slope is now known as “Norm’s Way.” The effort netted the Art Park nearly $6,000 in operating revenue.
