Power of Four Mountain Bike Race set for August 28, 2011
The brand new Power of Four Mountain Bike Race on Sunday, August 28 combines the four ski areas of Aspen/Snowmass – Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk – into one challenging course!











The diversity of terrain and a requirement to ride four distinct mountains makes this event the only one of its kind. This event is a follow-up to the acclaimed launch of the Power of Four series, which began with a ski touring race in March 2011.
The field will consist of solo racers and relay teams (of two or four) from the avid bike community that exists in Aspen/Snowmass, Colo., regionally and beyond. Racers will start at the base of Snowmass and end at the Sundeck at the top of Aspen Mountain. With an estimated 11,000' vertical gain, 9,000' vertical drop over 33 miles on top rated single track, demanding double track ascents and coverage over four mountains this race will challenge even the fittest riders.
Registration is now open at www.aspensnowmass.com/reg.
