The Uphill Downhill Race features hundreds of costumed racers who travel up 600 vertical feet to the summit of the North Face and then descend down double black diamond trails to the finish. The race is more about fun than hard core competition, though the route sends racers up and down rugged terrain. After the ascent along the access road, the skiers race down Hard Slab, Old Pro, Last Steep and finally finish on East River's Black Eagle Run.
