Let the records show, Park City is back on top. On Saturday, October 13, Park City’s 3rd annual Shot Ski Event, hosted by Park City Sunrise Rotary Club and High West Distillery, welcomed 1275 participants and 2570 feet long to Historic Main Street to claim a spot on the world’s longest shot ski constructed of 508 skis. The previous record was set in January 2018 in Breckenridge of 1,266 participants and 422 skis end to end.
“We are so grateful for the enthusiasm of the Park City community and our partnership with High West Distillery who made this a record-setting day for us,” said Park City Sunrise Rotary Club member Connie Nelson. “Not only did we surpass Breckenridge’s shot ski record, we exceeded our fundraising goal and raised $29,475, the most in event history.”
Topping last year’s total of $23,253.19, all proceeds will benefit Park City Sunrise Rotary Club’s Grant Program for 20 community organizations.
