The Silver State Vertical Drop is a ski competition and community fundraising event put on by the Silver State Hotshots, a Carson City-based wildfire suppression crew.
Individuals or teams of 3-5 compete to safely ski as much vertical feet as possible in a 4-hour time period. There are individual prizes for those who finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, and a team prize for 1st place.
All proceeds from the Silver State Vertical Drop go to the Wild land Firefighter Foundation—a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides support firefighters and their families in times of crisis. Today, the Vertical Drop is the longest running fundraiser that supports the Wild land Firefighter Foundation.
