The Hard Mile - Saskadena Six's Uphill Race!

Support Woodstock Ski Runners at The Hard Mile - Saskadena Six's Uphill Race - on Saturday, February 3rd!

All proceeds from ticket sales go to support Woodstock Ski Runners Educational Fund, Inc.

Turn the Easy Mile into the Hard Mile! The race starts at the bottom of Easy Mile (near the Woodstock Ski Runners Clubhouse). The finish line will be at the top of Easy Mile, adjacent to the Ski Patrol Hut. Upon finishing at the top, participants can leisurely swap out their skins and free ski/ride to the bottom.

NEW for 2024: Hard Mile + Joe's Extra Mile. Add an extra lap in memory of S6 Ski Patroller Joe Duane. The two-lap Extra Mile division will begin first and ski down a designated route to the start line before changing back over for the second uphill lap to finish at the patrol hut.

Is it competitive? Yes. Do you need to compete? No. Enjoy the beautiful setting that is Saskadena Six and take a skin up the Easy Mile with a free ski down the empty hill before the resort opens. Go as fast as you want, alone, with friends (no 4-legged ones please unless they are in your backpack), this will surely be a great community event for the ever building skinning community here at Saskadena Six.

Awards for Extra Mile, Men's, and Women's 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, as well as best dressed male and female. Meet on the back deck of the S6 Main Lodge after your free ski down the hill for coffee, pastries and awards.
