Gear & Equipment

Clothing: Layers are the best way to go. The weather can vary and change at the drop of a hat. Wick away gear is great! Avoid cotton gear because it retains water. Bring warm jackets a hat, and gloves.

Equipment: We suggest the use of stabilizers, snowshoes, track skis, telemark or heavy metal gear. Poles and headlamps are strongly recommended.

Kahtoola Snowshoes: Kahtoola has been generous enough to offer free demos for the night. If you are interested in receiving pre-reservations for Kahtool snowshoes please contact Hilary Edgar at hilary@kahtoola.com. There is limited availability the day of the event.

Clothes for After the Race: Volunteers will be at the base of the mountain in the Aspen Skiing Company ticket office an hour before the race collecting warm, dry equipment that racers would like to have at the Sundeck when they finish the race. Bring warm, dry clothes to volunteers and they will make sure that it arrives and is waiting for you when you finish the race.
