Vertfest

Vertfest continues the tradition of a mass shotgun start, steep bootpacks, challenging skinning, and probably intense skiing down Upper International, and a killer après party! For those who a single ascent and descent isn’t enough, we are back to having our second Pro loop this year entering the Alpental backcountry.

The Rookie Rally is back! This Vertical-only event is a 1,700’ race to the top of Armstrong. Starting right after the main event, Rookie Rally Racers will be timed only on the ascent. After finishing, racers can enjoy their turns to the bottom and go through the Finish Chute.

As part of the winter celebration, don’t be afraid to have some fun! While skimo racing is fun, doing it in costume is even more fun. We always reserve a fantastic prize package for whoever races in the best costume (as voted on by the crowd), so bring out your best.

SnowGoat is happy to bring the most epic winter post race party back this year too. Stay after the race for the beer garden, music, vendor village, gear raffle, and lots of fun.
