The House concurrent resolution congratulates Vermonter Noah Dines for setting a new world record in vertical skiing, achieving an impressive total of 3,590,097 feet skied in one year. This accomplishment surpasses the previous record of 2,500,000 feet set in 2016 and required extraordinary stamina and dedication. Dines undertook this ambitious goal by skiing nearly 10,000 feet daily on his home mountain in Stowe, while also traveling to various locations in the U.S. and abroad to ensure year-round snow access. His efforts included utilizing multiple pairs of ski boots, skis, and skins to support his record-breaking journey.

The resolution highlights the remarkable statistics of Dines' achievement, including a total of 6,082 miles skied and 2,268.34 hours spent skiing, averaging nearly 9,836 vertical feet and 6.13 hours daily. The General Assembly expresses its admiration for Dines' determination and success, equating his vertical skiing feat to the equivalent of 120 ascents of Mount Everest. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send a copy to Noah Dines, formally recognizing his extraordinary accomplishment.
