Our Story
The High Ground Men's Bible and Ski Conference began with a 1988 weekend with twelve Christian men meeting in Beaver Creek, Colorado. In the ensuing years, this three day Conference has reached hundreds of men across the country and fuses together great fellowship, solid Bible teaching and plenty of outstanding skiing at Beaver Creek and Vail. Men leave the mountain encouraged and challenged to live out their faith in Jesus Christ more completely in their homes, communities, workplaces and churches. And they make enduring friendships through their three days on the mountain.
