Considered New England’s premier amateur ski race, the event always attracts some of the region’s best racers. Recently, the event has been dominated by siblings, Alec and Ace Tarberry. Alec won the event last year, while Ace won it in 2013.

All proceeds from the race benefit the Eastern Slopes Ski Club, an organization that funds youth skiing in the Mount Washington Valley.
