Description



Hey friends, we are going to try this again! Trail Maniacs is offering a snowshoe/fat bike race at Silver Mountain. All abilities are welcome! This is not your typical snowshoe or fat bike event, think challenging and loads of FUN! A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Silver Mountain’s Volunteer Ski Patrol and the rest will be donated to the Trail Maniac foundation to help off-set the costs associated with grooming. Last year was such a bummer because we had to cancel this event not once but TWICE because of too much snow. I absolutely HATE canceling events!! It’s a race director’s nightmare. My goal with the groomer is that we can plan winter events without the fear of cancellation. Our groomer will be delivered the first week of January and grooming won’t be an issue. Bring it on Mother Nature!
The course will be a 2.2 mile loop that starts at the bottom of the tubing hill and jumps in on all single track around the snowshoe trail and is a very moderate grade. Click here for the trail map.

2.2 miles per lap and 356’ elevation change per lap
SNOWSHOE RACE: Snowshoe participants must wear snowshoes. Both regular snowshoes and special running snowshoes will work just fine. After the race enjoy hot chocolate and other fine beverages from Trail Maniacs. The snowshoe race will consist of a single lap course (2.2 miles) and a 2-lap course (4.4 miles).
FATBIKE RACE: The fat bike race will consist of the same 2.2 mile course, beginner riders will do two laps (4.4 mile) and advanced riders will do four laps (8.8 miles). Helmets and a fat bike with a minimum of a 4” wide tire are required. Please dress appropriately - you will work up a sweat on the climb and get cold on the descent.
Date: 2/11/18
Location: Silver Mountain resort.


***All participants will be required to purchase a scenic ride ticket at the base of the Gondola for $18 which is good for biking or snowshoeing (if participants also want to ski that day, a normal lift ticket purchase will be necessary).***
