Vertfest: A Randonnee Rally at Alpental

Snoqualmie Pass, WA - Join us at Alpental this weekend, Saturday, March 6 for the fourth annual Vertfest, the Northwest's mid-winter celebration of backcountry culture and a chance to test your stamina in a fun uphill/downhill randonnee ski race.

Even if you don't tape on a bib number, beer will be flowing after racers cross the finish line. So come support and catch up with friends while enjoying the weekend's festivities. An avalanche companion rescue clinic will help build your snow-safety know-how, and get in on our raffle, full of great prizes from Outdoor Research, The Summit, Pro Guiding, Osprey and the Friends of NWAC. All proceeds will benefit the Friends of NWAC.

Buy tickets here and stay updated on event details by visiting the OR event page or by viewing our poster. Interested in volunteering as a gate keeper? We could use a few more folks. We'll show our gratitude with free beer, free skiing/riding when you're not working, and a free lift ticket for a future day at the Summit.
