The BRC Snow Club<\/a> has launched a $25,000 fundraiser to bring back its dry ski slope to Burning Man,<\/a> which offers skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. <\/strong>The dry slope has been a major draw at the festival the last three years, but the rising cost of storage, transportation, and safety now threatens its return. Since its debut in 2023, the fully operational slope has welcomed hundreds, if not thousands, of snowsports enthusiasts and spectators. The project is co-run by Dylan Hogan and Rachael Gingery, with support from a dedicated group of volunteer campers.<\/p>\n

Until now, most of the financial responsibility, planning, and personal risk required to operate the slope has fallen on Hogan and Gingery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBurning Man is built by people giving something to the community, and for three years, this has been ours,\u201d Gingery said in a press release. The dry slope operates as a theme camp rather than an art installation, and it is ineligible for Burning Man art grants and receives no financial support from the Burning Man organization. Its costs have instead been covered through personal investments, camp dues, fundraising events, and community contributions. The campaign must raise enough funding by Aug. 15 to cover three essential expenses: $12,000 for year-round storage, $8,000 for transportation and logistics, and $5,000 for safety upgrades, structural improvements, and repairs.<\/p>\n
