VERTICAL RACE
The vertical course ascends mostly groomed runs and cat tracks from the mid station of the Catamount Chair lift to the Heaven's Door Yurt. The full course is approx. 3 km with 600m of ascent.
Warm clothes and downhill skiing gear may be dropped at the race start and will be transported to the finish. All competitors will be lead down the hill by ski patrol after the race - this means that no one skis down until the last competitor is across the line, so plan accordingly.
Mandatory gear can be found in the rules section.
See below for course details.
