This event is part of the prestigious American Ski Marathon Series and the New England Marathon Series. It has been proclaimed by the State Chamber of Commerce as one of the "Top Ten 2007 Winter Events in Vermont."

After the finish all participants are treated to a hearty post race meal. The top three racers in each class are awarded locally handcrafted pitchers. Special pins will be awarded to racers within 25% of age class winner's time. All tourers are awarded a commemorative pin.

Some past participants have found the course quite challenging. We strongly recommend skiers have an advanced intermediate skill and fitness level. If yours are not up to par, check out the three-month program of special exercises to get you started on this web site designed by our head ski instructor, Pepa Miloucheva.
