Beaver Creek Uphill & SkiMo
The event held at Beaver Creek includes three formats: skimo, boardmo, and an uphill-only race. The course uses resort terrain and moves from the base of the Centennial Lift up to Spruce Saddle Lodge, with descending lines that include Latigo and Haymeadow. The uphill route follows Haymeadow and Gold Dust to the top of Centennial Lift.
Course details list a vertical gain of 2,050 feet. The full loop is described as approximately 3.9 miles with 2,050 feet of gain. The uphill-only option is a point-to-point route of about 2 miles with the same vertical gain.
Participants must wear a helmet and have metal-edged equipment for the downhill portion. Avalanche gear is not required. Snowshoes are optional; footwear with proper tread is recommended. Extra clothing can be stored near Hawk's Nest Cabin or the start area. The gondola is used for downloading from the top when resort operations allow.
Amenities at the venue include restrooms, warming areas at Spruce Saddle Lodge and the village, a gear drop near Hawk's Nest Cabin, and complimentary food and beverages provided by event partners following the race. Awards will recognize the top three finishers by category and age group across the race formats. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
