Bear Creek Ski Patrol/Mountain Host (Team BCMR) members participated in the 2025 Lehigh Valley Plane Pull fundraiser for Special Olympics Pennsylvania. Among those pulling for Team BCMR Mountain Host/Ski Patrol were Alison Hudak, Holly Krause, Roger Ritchi, and Chet Ochar.
Team BCMR finished in 2nd place for their division pulling 175,000 lbs. of pure plane (FedEx cargo plane at Lehigh Valley International Airport) the designated distance (about 25 ft) in 8.12 seconds.
Teams across the Lehigh Valley participated and raised a total of $57,000 for Special Olympics. Team BCMR was a new member of the event this year. Just goes to show Ski Patrollers and Mountain Hosts are not just pretty faces on the hill, they possess Superhero strength.
