Winter racing continues at Arrowhead (located to the west of Beaver Creek in Avon) with another uphill and skimo competition! Choose between the uphill (only the ascent is timed) or skimo (both the ascent and descent are timed). Racers may use any means to climb the mountain (snowshoes, skis, splitboards or winter running devices).
Skis or a snowboard are required to compete in the skimo competition, as are metal edges and helmets.
Racers will ascend approximately 1,700 vertical feet and just under two miles from the base of Arrowhead Village to the top of Arrow Bahn Express Lift. The uphill route will take participants up the Little Brave ski run and the downhill route will be Cresta back to the finish next to the Arrow Bahn.
Join us after the race for an after-party at Broken Arrow!
