The Gallatin Valley Land Trust is gearing up for the 21st annual Make Tracks for Trails Skiathon.  Excel Physical Therapy is committed to giving back to our community and we are proud to help sponsor the GVLT!

Raise at least $50 in pledges, then join the GVLT on Sunday, February 28, 2016, at the Lindley Center.  Registration begins at 9:30 and and continues throughout the day. Skiers can start at any time after 10:00 am.  Ski on your own or put together a team.  Then, wrap up the day at 4:00 pm with the Winter Trails Celebration!  Loads of winter activities, great food, good music from the Bridger Creek Boys, and lots of fun will be had (not to mention some really cool prizes!)

See GVLT’s website for Skiathon Instructions, Pledge form and a detailed schedule of activities at www.gvlt.org/events.
