Story

On Saturday 12th June 2004, 100 gorilla-clad snowsports enthusiasts converged on Xscape Castleford, and completed 100 miles of real snow piste in just 1 hour.

You missed it! But there's still time to sponsor us..!

The total fundraising target is £10,000, which is desperately needed to help protect the world's last remaining 650 mountain gorillas and bring a little hope to the horribly declining number of eastern lowland gorillas and their precious habitat.

But we want to go better than that - Kings Ski Club are aiming to raise £1000 between us! Dig deep in your pockets - everyone who pledges over £10 will be entered into a prize draw, with thanks to our sponsors at The Daily Telegraph, natives.co.uk and Skiworld.

And don't forget to check the box for "Gift Aid" - if you are a UK taxpayer, this means that an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
