Eaglecrest Ski Area is participating in an effort Friday to set the Guinness World Record for largest multi-venue ski and snowboard lesson.
Twenty instructors will be on-hand to help as many as 100 beginner-level riders glide down the Porcupine run.
Charlie Herrington, Eaglecrest’s Marketing and Events Coordinator, said riders who have signed up were asked to be there by 8 a.m.
“At 10 a.m. sharp, bam! The lesson starts,” Herrington said. “Across the whole nation, everyone’s lesson has to be following the same guidelines. It’s going to be pretty chaotic at first getting everyone going and then once the lesson gets going, I’m sure everyone’s going to be fine.”
As many as a hundred other ski resorts across the nation will participate.
Seventy people have signed up for the $10 lesson since noon on Thursday. Registration is now closed, but the public is invited to witness the spectacle.
