Snowmobile Mountain Madness announced at Gunstock Mountain Resort for April 11-12

GILFORD, N.H. – As the skiing and riding season at Gunstock Mountain Resort comes to a close in the first weeks of April, the mountain’s slopes will be anything but quiet. Snowmobile Mountain Madness, an X Games style experience produced by X Racing, is set to take over Gunstock’s trails on Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12. Racers and spectators alike will find this high-octane, community-oriented race series the perfect way to wrap up the sledding season, attracting folks from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and beyond.

Snowmobile Mountain Madness will feature non-stop action across four racing disciplines including SnowCross, HillCross, DitchBanger (vintage sleds), and Sunday Funday Kidz racing. The Hillcross is set to take place the morning of Saturday, April 11 as riders charge up Gunstock’s slopes on a course packed with jumps, banks, and rollers. Saturday afternoon and Sunday will feature the remaining disciplines, with a different course for each. SnowCross displays high-flying feats and racing on a track of challenging terrain, while the courses for vintage sled racing and the Sunday Funday Kidz race will offer more pared back tracks.

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming folks from the snowmobiling community to the mountain,” shared Robert Drake, President and General Manager at Gunstock. “This may be an inaugural event for us, but our intent is for Mountain Madness to become an annual fixture in Gunstock’s spring events calendar. Joe and his team have been involved in the X Games for more than 25 years and will put on an amazing show for our community during the “off-season” in the Lakes Region.”

Gates are scheduled to open at 10:30 a.m. with an admission fee of $25 for the day or $40 for a weekend pass. Ages 12 and under are free. Racing is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. Gunstock’s Barrel Bar & Grille restaurant will be open, offering a selection of hamburgers, hot dogs, and other grilled favorites as well as a beer garden. Attendees are asked to refrain from bringing any outside food or beverages.
