Print detail event | 16th Annual GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill Event

The 16th annual GORE-TEX Kahtoola Uphill event is Saturday Feb. 11, 2023. For sixteen years, the Uphill has offered racers (of all ages) the opportunity to tackle Arizona Snowbowl’s mountainous slopes on foot (use of spikes, skis or snowshoes allowed) while raising money for Arizona-based non-profit, Friends of Camp Colton.

Registration closes on race day or once the event is sold out. Adventurers can choose to race individually or as a team of four. Creative costumes are encouraged at this family-friendly event with race categories ranging from the easy Fun Climb, to the more challenging Midway or the Lumberyard Brewing Company Agassiz Climbs.

Fundraising and direct donations can be made via the event’s website and 200 tickets are now available to purchase for the event’s legendary “Golden Raffle” featuring 20 awesome prizes valued at over $500 each. All race registration and raffle proceeds benefit youth environmental education programs through Friends of Camp Colton.
