The snow is already piling up on Vail Mountain—36 inches of base to be exact, a whopping 166% over last year’s early season totals. The slopes are ready, and so are we! SkiCE 2025 is just around the corner, offering an unmatched opportunity to combine high-quality continuing education with the magical winter wonderland of Vail, Colorado.
With only a few seats left, this year’s SkiCE promises to deliver the perfect balance of education, networking, and alpine adventure. Don’t wait—this event sells out every year, and you won’t want to miss it!
Education That Elevates Your Practice
At the heart of SkiCE is an exceptional educational program, and this year’s Multispecies Diagnostic Imaging Boot Camp is designed to take your diagnostic skills to the next level. Led by Dr. Erin Epperly, DACVR, the sessions focus on making sense of complex cases with interactive, case-based learning.
From mastering imaging modalities for various species to honing your interpretation skills, this course promises actionable insights to bring back to your practice. Expect to tackle common technical errors, explore breed-related imaging variations, and gain confidence in practical imaging-guided procedures.
The curriculum even ventures into those elusive “zebra” cases that keep you on your toes. Whether it’s the intricate anatomy of exotics or the nuances of large animal diagnostics, you’ll leave this program with a toolbox of knowledge ready to apply to any patient that walks, flies, or slithers through your door.
Building Bonds Beyond the Classroom
While the education is world-class, SkiCE is so much more than lectures and note-taking. It’s about reconnecting with old friends, forging new professional relationships, and sharing the slopes with colleagues who understand your daily challenges and triumphs.
Imagine this: mornings spent diving into imaging nuances with your peers, followed by afternoons shredding the fresh powder on Vail’s iconic runs. With so much snow already blanketing the mountain, conditions are ideal for every kind of skier, from the adventurous black-diamond enthusiast to the leisurely cruiser. Don’t take our word for it—check out Vail’s live mountain cameras to see the magic for yourself.
SkiCE is also a rare chance to mingle with veterinarians from across the nation. This isn’t just a Colorado affair—it’s a gathering of diverse professionals united by a shared passion for learning and skiing (or snowboarding, if that’s your style).
