We’re bringing 300 of our closest friends, business leaders, philanthropists and entrepreneurs together for the 17th Annual First Descents Ball at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek, Colorado on Saturday, April 6!

We hope you’ll join us as we honor and celebrate the healing power of adventure and over two decades of life-changing outdoor programs for a weekend full of community, adventure and connection.

FD Ball guests will join us for an entire weekend of events, including our Horizon Line Reception and Adventure Sessions, before donning their own hat for a night of powerful stories, moving films, delicious meals, and an epic dance party to cap it all off.
