Vertfest Ski Mum Vertfest 2020 On Mt Bachelor

Описание: Ski Mum Vertfest 2020 On Mt Bachelor
Vertfest is an annual up hill skiing event on Mt Bachelor, in Bend Oregon, which takes place in February each ski season. Enthusiasts new and old to the sport gather at Mt Bachelor to celebrate backcountry skiing, connecting with old friends and making new ones.
Vertfest is a great time with local Strictly Organic coffee, tons of Demos, a fire pit by "Weld" (Andy Wachs), Booths, celebration and bacon at the top of the cone....yummmmmm
Each year we hope that the route will take up to the top but so far have had such an abundance of epic snowfall we haven't had to..... kidding...
There are devisions for participants. Elite racers opt for the Elite race which is the longest route, two laps up Pine, three transitions and a boot pack up the Cone. The Recreational devision is a lap up Pine two transitions and a boot pack up the Cone. While the Rookie Rally is a lap up the Cone!!! You will find everything from "Skimo" racers on paper thin skis with paper thin clothing to split borders in costumes.
This year Josh Dirksen, Pro Snowboarder, who is the impetus behind the Dirksen Derby, donated five slots to the top five split borders. The Dirksen Derby is Mt Bachelors inaugural season opening event each year. These are highly sought after slots as this Bordercross event fills up as soon as it opens each season.
I love Vertfest and have been participating since 2011 when It was simply a Cone lap and I earned the Title "Queen of the Cone".....This was a great year for me, I loved being a queen!!!!
I'll be honest with you, racing and backcountry skiing don't really go together for me, I enjoy the chill of being in the woods peacefully plodding along ascending to the top of an untrammeled remote hill, until I get to rip my skins and drop a sick, fresh line. I LOVE Vertfest though, because I love to be with friends and the community and help people new to the sport feel included. So many great things come along with this spectacular event.
