It begins with a mass start of approximately 200 men and women. The race course begins near the top of Mt. Crested Butte\, climbs six hundred vertical feet to the top of a ridge\, then plunges twelve hundred feet down through extreme skiing terrain. Following the start\, there is only one control point – a gate at the top of the uphill section. After passing through this point\, racers may choose any route to reach the finish gate which is located at the bottom of the “Last Steep.” Another short uphill section brings racers to the finish line. \nWhat makes this event so challenging is that it must be raced on free-heel telemark equipment. The rules require that each contestant finish with both skis and poles\, even if broken. Many a participant has had to carry irreparable equipment across the finish line. What also adds to the fun and uniqueness of the race is that the majority of the racers dress in costume for the race. There are no limits to the creativity there. \nFor more details\, please visit the event website.
