Backstory:

my beloved Purgatory Ski Area, since being hijacked by out of towners that chose to capitalize on condo’s, Texans, and capital gains,  has consistently turned its back on our requests to integrate Uphill Skiing/Snowshoeing.  Nearly every other Colorado ski area has welcomed uphill athletes as long as we accept to buy lift tickets and be off the mountain during operating hours.   Purg?  Still no go.

So, my bros at Pine Needle Mountaineering -Durango’s finest mountain shop and former employer of yours truly – has taken up liaison with my other chi-ldhood      Sacred Skiing Realm;  Ski Hesperus…a 600′ bump of a mountain just minutes west of The Bubble – to embrace, promote, and elevate Uphill Skiing/Snowshoeing.

I’ve been asked to set the course for our 2nd race this winter and below is the the profile…featuring about 600′ each 2.5k lap…ideal training for my Winter Warrior race!

PLEASE come out this Sunday and enjoy a fantastic Sacred Sweat…we are supporting a GREAT CAUSE which you can find out more about on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/HesperusPine-Needle-Mountaineering-Uphill-Ski-Club/547661711991756
