LOC Uphill Bonanza Part Trois
Sat Mar 4, 2023 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM EST
Lyndon Outing Club, 05851
Description
The Lyndon Outing Club has partnered with Jesse Holden of NEK Endurance to bring a 6 Hour Uphill Bonanza Part Trois to the hill on Saturday, March 4th. The event will be a test of grit and determination as single participants and teams will see how many times they can skin up and ski back down, the hill in 6 hours. If you do not own a ski touring setup, there will be demo's on site or there will also be the option to hike or snowshoe up and back down. In the singles event, after every trip up and down the participant's lap will be counted. In the team version, team members will take turns doing laps in any way they see fit. NEK Endurance will be donating much of the proceeds from registration to the Lyndon Outing Club to help them continue their mission of providing low-cost skiing to the Northeast Kingdom community.
NEK Endurance will have a hydration station, and there will be food, music, and plenty of cheering going on. Participants are encouraged to bring camp chairs/coolers and whatever they need to set up outside of their cars during the event. The venue is the perfect place for spectators to pull up a lawn chair and enjoy the festivities. Costumes are definitely encouraged!
@mountainops_stowe will be bringing the stoke and demos for anyone that want to test out some light weight uphill gear!
@the_spicy_spoke will be cheffing up some incredible breakfast food to fuel your engine for the adventure ahead!
@kingdomkreperie will be serving up Farm to Finger Crepes to keep you going throughout and fill your bellies after you rock the slopes!
The hope for this event would be to gather as many great people as possible and have a really good time while either pushing our bodies to the brink or just getting some good ole fashion exercise!
Event overview:
This is a family friendly community based endurance event where camaraderie and general positive stoke are the vibes of the day. We will have vendors there and hopefully can create a really fun atmosphere for all! Participants will tackle the Lyndonville Outing club hill as many times as they so choose in the 6hr time frame from 10-4pm. The hill is about 400 vertical feet and packs a punch for a small ski hill. Whether you are training and want to crush as many laps as possible or just want to cruise up and down a few times this is the event for you! There will be some prizes and giveaways at the end and we may just have a sweet raffle as well!!
