Have no desire to subject yourself to needless suffering when there are chairlifts?
Volunteer Signup
Great! Opportunities to use those chairlifts for free and cheer/heckle those poor souls at their lactic threshold on 3/5 and 4/3.
Come on out to be a gatekeeper at a skimo race near you! We have a mountain hangout spot for you to hang out in the sun, cheer, keep racers on track, and drink hot and cold beverages. PLUS, at Vertfest, you’ll get a free lift ticket you can use in the future! Free riding!
We are also looking for help slinging beers and checking people in at the finish line. That’s where the real party and hangout is. Sign up at our website! Or, if you do in fact enjoy uphill suffering, then we need skin track setters to show up early in the morning and beat the course in before the racers!
Loup Loup is this next weekend?!
What? You haven’t signed up yet for one or four hours of getting Loopy at Loup Loup? Oh, you must have heard the crowds are too busy or the trees are ugly at Loup Loup. Well, let me assure you these are just rumors propagated by the locals to keep you out. But don’t worry, you’ll really get to enjoy one corner of the Methow goodness as you lap it at top speed. See you out there!

Did you know that Outdoor Research is one of the main reasons that Vertfest is the race it is today? Did you also know that OR, as a Seattle brand, has exactly the shell you need for our PNW weather? They’ve been a caretaker of the Vertical Festival since the beginning, let’s welcome Outdoor Research back as our premiere BillyGoat sponsor! Hint, they make a lot more than the Croc Gaiters! I’m also embarrassed to say 75% of my entire closest is OR clothes, for both mountain and city….

Skimo in the Newspaper
Did you know skimo is going to be an Olympic sport? Did you know that most of America most of America has no idea what skimo is? To be fair, I don’t really know the first thing about the skeleton, either. But now those who subscribe to the Seattle Times know what about skimo! Thanks to one of our racers who penned a pretty cool article by the local news print, it hits the shelves today!
