With approximately 12,000 feet of vertical gain over 25 miles, including summiting the Aspen Highlands Bowl, this race is the perfect opportunity to experience all four Aspen/Snowmass ski areas like never before.  Grab a teammate and get ready to ski, hike and skin Snowmass, Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain all in one race. 

Not quite ready to tackle all four mountains?  The Recreational Division course covers only the latter two mountains of the Sport Division course: Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain. This course boasts approximately 8,000 feet of vertical gain over 15 miles and also includes summiting the famed Aspen Highlands Bowl.
