5th Annual Luggi Foeger Uphill/Downhill Festival and SkiMo Race

Arts and Entertainment

February 8, 2024

From: Luggi Foeger Uphill and Downhill Festival

The Lake Tahoe Basin’s premier SkiMo competition and an incredibly family-friendly event. Competitors race to the top of the mountain using whatever human-powered method you prefer - skins, snowshoes, running shoes, etc. - then ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or run back down to the finish line. For those of a less competitive nature, a recreational course to mid-mountain is available. The event will also include activities in the base area including uphill demos, a DJ and awards ceremony in the Loft Bar! Then, the fun continues with a winter-wildlife snowshoe hike Sunday morning.

Sorry, No Sledding Allowed
