world record finishing 34 laps / 47.6 miles /
51,068 vertical feet.

abilities. Last years race attracted over 266

Lou
Dawson, Colorado Ski & Snowboard Hall of Famer, commented, “Let me say again
that this was one of the most positive and enjoyable events I’ve ever been involved with.
I encourage anyone to take a few days off from backcountry skiing next winter and try
getting your personal best daily vertical … and
socialize with a fine group of people.”
