The Vertical Challenge is a series of free, casual ski and snowboard races held at the best ski resorts throughout the Northeast each winter season. In addition to the races, attendees enjoy a festival atmosphere, featuring fun snowy activities for all ages and special giveaways. Our secret ingredient? Our crew has as much fun at the events as you do. We make it a priority to create an environment where EVERY participant and family member is welcomed, accepted, and supported.
