About this event
The Gambler is Saddleback's uphill fundraising challenge benefiting the Saddleback Ski Patrol, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, on Saturday, March 20, 2027. Participants depart the Base Lodge and skin up Wheeler Slope to the uphill trail, being dealt a playing card at five stations along the route to build a poker hand by the top. Stop there and stick with your hand, or head down and do additional laps - one extra card per lap - to improve your odds. The best poker hand(s) win swag and prizes. Can't make it? You can still support the patrol via Venmo @Saddleback-SkiPatrol.
At a glance
Open to uphill skiers/splitboarders and snowshoers who can ascend Wheeler Slope under their own power; a recreational fundraiser rather than a licensed race.
