Expected Full Course will consist of approximately 4,000 ft of vertical with 2 laps. There will be 4-6 mandatory boot packs and many transitions. Exact course will be determined by snow conditions. Short Course will consist of 1 single lap but no booting. We will give you a course time for your effort but this is an unranked division with an emphasis on FUN and thus racers can choose to descend any trail that best suits their ability with no penalty. The Fitness Vert Challenge will utilize the Short Course uphill and racers will do as many laps as possible skiing down any trail of choice.

2 Person Team – THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO MARCH 12TH AT 1PM.
