Vail Recreation District winter racing returns to Arrowhead for a fifth year! Join us for the 2024 Arrowhead Uphill & Skimo Race, the second event in the Bloch & Chapleau Winter Races. Choose between the uphill (only the ascent is timed) or skimo (both the ascent and descent are timed) options. Register now!

Uphill ski, Uphill splitboard, Uphill non-ski/splitboard, Skimo (up and down), Boardmo (up and down).

Racers may use any means to get up the mountain (snowshoes, skis, splitboards or winter running devices). Skis or a snowboard are required to compete in the skimo competition. Skimo competitors must also have a helmet and metal edges, which are both required for the descent.

Participants will ascend approximately 1,700 vertical feet and just under two miles from the base of Arrowhead Village to the top of Arrow Bahn Express Lift. The uphill route will take participants up the Cresta ski run, and the downhill route will be Little Brave (course subject to change depending on snow conditions).

View a printable course map here and a parking map here. The Arrowhead chairlift will be available for uphill-only participants to download when they are finished.
