The Vail Recreation District is excited to kick off the 2026 Bloch Ongert Winter Races with the Beaver Creek Uphill & Skimo Race!
Choose the uphill event (only the ascent is timed) or the skimo event (both ascent and descent timed). Participants can use snowshoes, skis, splitboards, or winter running devices to climb. For the skimo event, skis or a snowboard (along with metal edges and a helmet) are required.
Racers will begin next to the Centennial Lift in Beaver Creek. The uphill route will take participants up Haymeadow and Gold Dust to the top of Centennial Lift and Spruce Saddle Lodge. The downhill route will take participants down Latigo and Haymeadow back to the finish next to the Centennial Lift. The course is subject to change based on grooming and snow conditions.
This event will conclude with awards and breakfast near the Hawk’s Nest Cabin, located above Hooked.
