5th Annual Luggi Foeger Uphill/Downhill Festival & SkiMo Race - March 24, 2024
UPDATE: Luggi Foeger SkiMo Race has been moved to Sunday, March 24 due to weather!
Diamond Peak's Luggi Foeger Uphill/Downhill Festival & SkiMo Race is Lake Tahoe Basin’s premier SkiMo competition and an incredibly family-friendly event.
Competitors race to the top of the mountain using whatever human-powered method you prefer – skins, snowshoes, running shoes, etc. – then ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or run back down to the finish line! For those of a less competitive nature, a recreational course to mid-mountain is available. The event will also include activities in the base area including uphill demos, a DJ and awards ceremony in the Loft Bar! Then, the fun continues with a winter-wildlife snowshoe hike Sunday morning.
*Sorry, no sledding allowed.
Due to the predicted winter storm impacting the Tahoe Basin this Saturday, we have made the decision to move the Luggi Foeger Uphill/Downhill Festival to Sunday, March 24 (instead of Saturday, March 23). Competitors who have pre-registered for the race but cannot do Sunday can request a full refund of registration fees by filling out this online form. (Note: Beer Luggi competitors who can’t make it Sunday but wish to receive the souvenir beer stein and beer voucher can request no refund and a “beer rain check” and we’ll get you your items on Saturday.)
