Funski 2017 is all those things, but what it is really about, is raising money to help support the Sioux Falls Children's Inn.

During 2016 alone, Funski raised over $32,000, bringing the grand total to $800,000 to date thanks to your support.

Here are a few things you need to know about Funski. Most skiing and boarding events have Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced categories so everyone is welcome. There are awards ceremonies for most events that generally take place about 15 minutes after each event ends, in the bar area of the chalet. Online registration closes at 8 AM on Friday the day events start. You can still register at Great Bear up to 1 hour before the start time of an event. However, those people wishing to participate in the snow sculpture contest must be pre-registered.

See a complete list of event times and get registered to participate here.
