Submitted by admin on December 13, 2009 - 6:31pm

The SIA Snowshow Uphill/Downhill Challenge starts at the center of the ski universe - the SIA On-Snow Demo at 2pm on Monday, February 1st.

Follow a marked 1,700' skin track up to the Sunspot Lodge, then descend a marked course via bumps, trees and few surprises back to the base area. Entry is free but we welcome donations to the USSMA. Call it a race, call it a FUN-draiser, grab two friends to make a team and come on out.

Teams of three from ski shops, ski companies and ski areas are welcome, but any combo of three people makes a team. Teams don't need to stay together during the race, at the finish the times of all three team members will be added together. The fastest individual will recieve a pair of Scarpa F1 Carbon boots!

All donations received go to the US National Ski Mountaineering team going to the World Championships in Andorra March 1st-6th 2010.
