Saturday February 12th was just about the busiest day that the Stevens Pass Nordic Center had ever seen. The Tubbs Romp to Stomp Snowshoe Series visited the area, bringing around a thousand participants and spectators, while also raising thousands of dollars benefiting breast cancer research. The crowd included men, women and children of all ages, coming together in a sea of pink to support a great cause.
The Nordic Center was filled to capacity, with the Yodelin Area being parked as well, as music bumped out into an enthusiastic crowd, who were also, as a matter of grace, blessed with great weather! The event included a quick 3K race, as well as a short Romp for the kids, and finally a 5K walk along essentially the same course as the race had followed. The area was bathed in a sea of pink and smiles were abound! We would like to thanks Tubbs, as well as all who attended the event! You're all rockstars and we truly appreciate your support of this noble cause
