Sisyphus, a greek king known for his punishment of rolling an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down as he neared the top, inspired our Fool’s Errand this spring! The goal of the challenge is to rack up as much elevation gain as you can in a week’s time using any mode of transportation purely human powered (ski, walk, bike, etc.).
In lieu of our usual Wy’easter SkiMo race this year, we’ve opted for a virtual vertical challenge open to all modes of human-powered transportation!
What is included in acceptable modes of human-powered transportation? Anything purely human powered; walk, run, hike, bike, backcountry ski, split-board, snowshoe, boot pack, crawl, etc.
What are the categories?
- Beast League: These folks eat vert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Rec League: This crew is a little more casual, but still ready to rumble!
- Junior League: The 18 & under league.
- Shop League: Mountain Shop Employees & Ambassadors!
There will be a Male & Female division of each league. Prizes will be awarded to top male & female in each category!
Daily activities will be submitted via the vert/activity submission form.
*Must submit a link to GPS activity (Strava, Garmin, etc)
Submissions open Thursday, April 1st at 12:00 AM and close Wednesday, April 7th at 11:59 PM.
Proceeds go to our newly founded Everett & Ida Darr Scholarship – a scholarship to create more equity and diversity in the outdoors and help remove financial barriers to entry in the outdoor community.
