Reports coming from northern New England this winter have been somewhat disappointing. Let’s face it, with minimal new snow since Christmas, ski conditions haven’t been great. In fact, until the little boost earlier this week, there were a few too many sites listing their snow as “granular.” Translation, look out for the ice.

Yet, ski reports have been just ducky compared with reports from people trying to get the money to launch new companies in the past 18 months. So, somehow it must make sense that you would bring the world of finance to the ski slopes.

FreshTracks Capital plans to pair investors and entrepreneurs in a ski-lift pitch, with the entrepreneurs getting the few minutes in the chair ride to the summit to get through their talking points. The event is slated for March 3 at Bolton Valley in Vermont. (At least they are reporting “packed powder.”) Yes, there have been similar approaches in the past, events along the lines of speed dating.

Think of the possibilities, though. Do you really want to be the risk-averse entrepreneur chugging up the bunny slope on the magic carpet ride? Even worse would be the entrepreneur who punctuates his pitch with a run down a double black diamond. Maybe he could use a lesson in risk management. Or, if the investor doesn’t seem receptive to a pitch, the entrepreneur can bid them adieu with the old stage line, “Break a leg.”
