ASM will honor those who have served in a special session on March 1 & 2, 2024. This will be the 8th Heroes on the Mountain event.

The Appalachian Ski Patrol and non-profit 501(c)(3) organization “Heroes On The Mountain, Inc.”, are sponsoring 80 VA Disabled U.S. Military combat veterans during the weekend of March 1 & 2, 2024 at our 8th Annual Heroes on The Mountain event at Appalachian Ski Mountain, Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Participating veterans will be treated to a fun-filled day of complimentary skiing and snowboarding on Saturday, March 2nd. The event will commence at 0830 Saturday morning with a military style Disabled Combat Veterans welcome and dedication ceremony. This will include Ski Patrol Director opening and guest speaker comments, Ski Patrol flag skiing presentation, Honor Guard flag Raising Ceremony and singing of the National Anthem. An aircraft military formation fly-by immediately following the National Anthem will close the ceremony. Ceremony participants will include representation from local area Law Enforcement, Fire, Rescue, and Medics personnel 1st Responders. Also participating will be the Appalachian State University ROTC Honor Guard, and other retired military personnel.

Our Patrol is currently seeking sponsorship donations from local businesses, organizations and private individuals.
