Dancing with the Mountain Stars 2012 l Keystone, Colorado

The 2012 Dancing with the Mountain Stars event was a huge success, as always! This Summit County, Colorado fundraiser for the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation was held as usual at the Keystone Conference Center. 

See the complete album and purchase prints here. 

This year's event benefitted Flight for Life, a heroic service that has affected most people involved in the outdoors and adventure sports. 

Of course, I had to photograph the Flight for Life guys as soon as I saw those moustaches. 

The judges

The fabulous Katie Girtman of Studio Kiva Photography.

Rolo Cuadrado (my personal favorite!)

One of the professional dancers for Los Angeles.

Dr. Erin Hay receives the "Most Improved Dancer" award, given in honor of Stephanie Roller (Bruner).

Dancing with the Mountain Stars 2011

This year's "Dancing with the Mountain Stars" event took place once more at the Keystone Conference Center in Summit County, Colorado.

See the whole album & purchase photos for a limited time here!

Local competitors were paired up with professional dancers from Los Angeles and were trained how to dance. This annual event, modeled after the TV show, "Dancing with the Stars," is a fundraiser for the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation, a non-profit that raises money for improvements to St. Anthony Summit Medical Center hospital in Frisco, Colorado.

This is the third year I shot this pro-bono event and it's always a great time. Summit County community member trade in their puffy coats and hiking boots for black tie gowns and tuxedos.
