Skidola: Telluride's Winter Uphill Race
About this race
The Telluride Foundation, in partnership with the Peter Inglis Avalanche Education Fund (PI Avy Fund), is hosting the seventh annual Skidola, Telluride’s winter uphill race, on Friday, March 12th. The Skidola is an open-registration, on-snow uphill race from the Town of Telluride to the San Sophia Ridge. Racers can compete using microspikes, snowshoes, skis, or splitboards.
All racers will receive a Skidola buff and prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers, best costume, and middle-place racer. This is a family-friendly race, welcoming both competitive racers and those who just want to have fun!
All proceeds benefit the PI Avy Fund and its mission to expand avalanche education and backcountry user awareness in the San Juan Mountains.
