24th Annual Janss Pro-Am Classic @ Bald Mountain

Tickets

Mar 30 – Apr 1 all-day

The ‘greatest party on snow’ will return yet again in its 24th iteration for 2023!

As details unfold, they will be posted at www.svsef.org/events/24th-annual-janss-pro-am-classic/

The Janss Pro-Am Classic is held in memory of Mr. Bill Janss. A true renaissance man, Janss embodied the best qualities of the American spirit. He was dynamic, intelligent, fearless and kind, and had the vision and strength of character to boldly take Sun Valley Resort to the next level after purchasing it in 1964. Named to the 1940 Olympic Alpine Team, Janss remained a lifetime enthusiast and supporter of skiing and ski racing until his death in 1996. Because of Bill – his attributes, ethos and commitment to our community – the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is proud to host the Janss Pro-Am Classic in his honor.
