Silverton’s Snowscape
carnival is in full swing with the 2nd Annual Hard Core Mountain
Challenge. This is an uphill downhill race that covers 3,800’ vertical from
10,400’ to 12,300’ and back down. The first to reach the bottom using
snowshoes, skis, or a snowboard is the winner. Last year’s event was a huge
success with Sara Ballatyne, pro mountain biker and eco-challenge racer
finishing in under an hour. One competitor said after winning a Black Diamond
Avalung, “That’s what I need another lung!”

5K & 10K Backcountry Loops. The 5K track travels
from the Kendall Mountain Recreation Area almost to Arastra Gulch and loops
back around. For the more adventurous soul, the 10K loop starts on the same
track as the 5K and veers up Arastra Gulch back through Aspentown and down
Lackawana back to the KMRA-truly a lung buster with an approximate 1,500
vertical feet gain/loss!!! Early Race Registration is encouraged. The direct
