Vail, CO. A HUGE lift-served consumer-facing demo offering all of next year’s bikes and gear from the industry’s best brands. An incredible back and side-country competitive XC event. Unsanctioned (no explanation necessary), and with a King Kong-sized purse (if the big man rocked a purse.) 3 stages with roughly 8-10,000 feet of vertical loss. VAIL Oktoberfest is taking place at the same time in Lionshead Village.
