He severely broke both legs and will require multiple surgeries and medical care for some time. He will be off his feet for months. Clayton and his wife Karen have 5 children and own Skyline Nursery in River Falls. Many friends are helping with physical labor trying to get the business ready for spring planting. We are hoping the funds raised will help with personal and business related expenses. Clayton was an instructor at Afton Alps for many years. His family has season passes and loves the sport of skiing and snowboarding.<O:p></O:p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me jack Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'll be there. we should get the gates set up so that point into the turn, in a snowboard friendly manner, in honor of Clay. Also, is there going to be timing set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 this Benefit is being put on by Afton Alps. I am just relaying the info as I am not directly involved. Amy Reents (I introduced you to her on Sunday night) is heading up this benefit and using Afton's resources to make it happen. The race will be a standard NASTAR course set up by Afton's race staff with timing and a pacesetter. It will run much like the race on Sunday night.

Adrenaline Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The benefit held for Clay on Sunday March 1st was a great success! Over 140 racers competed, mostly skiers. People came from as far away as Michigan to attend this event. Clay was also in attendance. The silent auction had many wonderful donations including an Ipod, printer, jewelry, gift certificates, ski bags, clothing, etc... Total donations exceded $5,000! This money has been already put to use to purchase pots and flats and plant materials for this growing season. Thanks to Afton Alps and all volunteers who contributed their time to make this event possible. Thanks to all donors and racers for making this event a spectacular success!
