March 9th and 10th, 2019

The Town Downhill held on Snow King Mountain is one of the wildest and fastest public downhill races still out there. Anyone can enter this Western classic featuring racers from around the region. There are a number of classes including the crowd favorite “Fat and Baggy.” There are snowboard and telemark classes as well. Racers willing to pay multiple entrance fees can enter as many classes as they qualify for, providing some participants with multiple adrenalin filled runs down the “mini-hannenkam.”

Snow King Mountain’s steep pitch rockets racers down the course.  There is a pro-bump that gives the racers the option of “air”or “no air.” The finish line at the base makes for an entertaining scene. Saturday the 1st is a training/warm up day. The true racing heats up on Sunday with qualifying in the morning and the finals in the afternoon and is sure to provide some excitement.

Locals look forward to this event each Spring. The spectator turnout for this event tends to good. By purchasing a lift ticket and skiing at the mountain on race or training day, you can view the course from multiple points. Checking out the Pros coming out of the S-Chute’s “Pro Start” is pretty fun. The first turn is a doosie. A band and Dj generally play throughout the day, providing entertainment at the finish line. $5000 is cash and prizes are up for grabs.
