10TH ANNUAL NICKOLAY DODOV SLOPESTYLE

 

Every March, our community comes together to celebrate the life and legacy of Nickolay Dodov.

 

This year marks the 10th Annual Nickolay Dodov Slopestyle & Fundraiser, a special milestone event dedicated to supporting the foundation’s mission of providing FREE avalanche awareness and safety education to individuals of all ages throughout California.

 

The Nickolay Dodov Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in memory of Nickolay Dodov, who tragically lost his life in an avalanche in Haines, Alaska in 2012. Led by Nickolay’s parents, Alex and Natalia Dodov, both longtime staples of the Bear Valley community – the foundation is deeply rooted in our mountain community and committed to educating skiers and riders about both backcountry and on-hill safety.

 

Our goal this year is to raise $10,000, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the foundation so they can continue this life-saving work. We’ll be hosting a raffle featuring incredible prizes generously donated by local and regional sponsors.

 

Join us as we ride, remember, and give back.

    A question for Trump backing Calaveras parents when their kid in the military now attacking Iran is killed in this uncalled for war.(Unless you want to deflect from the Epstein files)

    What are you going to say when you early twenties child is killed in Tehran while invading that city at the behest of one Donald J Trump?

    What are you going to say when you realize you son died because our POTUS wanted to change the subject?

    What are you going to say when you realize your child died because of Trumps fragile ego?

    How will you defend this invasion?

    How will you defend a man who evaded the draft, a man who has not one relative that even THOUGHT about defending our country by joining the military and serving their country?

    How will you defend a man who apparently hit a teenage girl in the presence of Epstein who refused to perform oral sex on him in front of his “best friend” Jeff?

    Nuclear threat?????
    I thought, according to Trump himself, we “obliterated” Irans ability to build nuclear weapons last fall?

    So tell me again what Trumps reasoning for bombing Iran is?

    May our casualties of Trumps needless and uncalled for war on Iran(???????) RIP.

    And as the Rolling Stones once sang “And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave”..
