The experience
A better kind of race day.
The Vertical Challenge makes room for the serious racer, the nervous first-timer, the sibling on the sidelines, and everyone who just came for the hot chocolate.

Built around belonging
Competition is the spark. Community is the point.
Every event is free, casual, and designed to feel like a festival on snow. Race for the top three, try something new, cheer for your people, and let the day unfold.
Our crew works hard to create a positive environment where every participant and family member feels welcomed, accepted, and supported. That is how one mountain day becomes a winter tradition.
