About the race

This annual fundraiser event challenges skiers to see how much vertical they can climb on ski, in 24 hours! Our current course record is 44,000 ft, come set the new one!

This event benefits the non profit TruStrength Tomorrow to provide low income youth with scholarships for mentorship through fitness programs such as our high school uphill ski club. Your suffering goes to a great cause!

Aid station and support

We will provide an aid station table at the timing area with water, electrolytes, and typical race food fare but we will rotate hot foods and soup in every few hours: normally we offer something like grilled cheese, pizza, ramen, etc through the evening hours.
We normally end with fresh fruit pie served with hot coffee for breakfast celebration!

Skiers can bring their own aid and set up support tents for themselves in designated areas. We do have use of the lodge for bathrooms and warm ups but we can't camp out in the lodge or use it to sprawl out wet gear.

Snowshoe category

Snowshoes - stay tuned. We hope to have a 12 hr category during closed resort hours. Negotiations to follow.

Support laps

Any skier not participating in the event but hoping to "do a support lap" must purchase an uphill ticket to be on ski property and must obey all resort policies.

Course rules and timing

  • Racers must use only the approved uphill course set by the mountain and race director in order to count those laps. Racers warned about leaving the course will be DQ'd from official results.
  • Skiers may leave the course any time for breaks or to sleep but must inform timing staff if they intend to take a break longer than 30 mins.
  • All laps must be completed by 10am on Sunday morning in order for them to be counted towards official vertical.

Relay team rules

  • You can only have one skier on course at a time and must swap bibs each time you want to exchange racers on course.
  • All teammates do not need to remain or be present in order for 1 teammate to keep skiing, so you could leave or arrive late and not impact the team.

The course

2 Person Relay Team4 Person Relay TeamVertical Challenge

The exact course is dictated by snow conditions and mountain operations the week prior to the race. Skiers may descend any open trail of their choosing. Once the resort closes for the night the course shifts slightly to become more direct. Racers must use only the approved uphill course set by the mountain and race director, and the course is wanded for day use and lanterned for the night portion.
