2026 Women’s Uphill Bash

Date: Saturday, March 7th
Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Cranmore Mountain

Led by Inclusive Ski Touring Volunteers, group tours will meet in a designated area and will continuously run between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Each tour will start when at least 10 participants are gathered in the designated area. At that time the group will head out with IST volunteers and the process will start over.

Experience the joy of uphill travel in a supportive, welcoming group setting.

Important Details:

• Demos are available starting at 10:00 AM and must be returned by 3:00 PM. Gear will not go out before 10:00 AM or after 3:00 PM.

• Demo gear goes out on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving early to increase your chances of getting the gear you want.

• Ski Boots will be limited, please plan accordingly. Snowboarders must bring their own boots.

Waitlist System:

• Once gear is checked out, we’ll start a waitlist. You’ll be contacted via phone when gear becomes available.

• 10-Minute Pickup Rule – If you don’t respond or arrive within 10 minutes of our call, the gear will go to the next person on the list.

Demo Gear Disclaimer: Demo gear is available to provide participants with the opportunity to try different touring setups and find what works best for them. It is not a full-day rental, and availability is not guaranteed. To ensure everyone has a chance to demo, gear must be swapped out throughout the event. If you need a full-day rental, we recommend reserving equipment from a local shop in advance separate from the event.

Each registered participant receives one raffle ticket included with their registration. Additional tickets will be available for purchase during the event.

The raffle will take place from 4:00 – 4:30 PM inside Zips Pub.
