The Annual Pain McShlonkey Classic

This epic day of camaraderie and general radness, is our annual celebration of Shane. We gather together to shred in his honor. Dressing in our most outrageous ski duds, and with snowblades waxed, we raise money for amazing causes.

In 2023, we donated $15,000 to the Scotty Lapp Foundation to help fund the skatepark. And over $50,000 to the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe, Protect Our Winters, the Latinx scholarship program at Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, and to support our EcoChallenge.

Want to race in the PMS?

Thank you all for your amazing efforts. The crowdfunding will continue through March 22 and our overall winner will be announced during the festivites on the Sun Deck on March 23 at Palisades Tahoe. Check out the leaderboard below:
