Event Description
Aspen Mountain will host the Summit for Life Uphill Race, formally known as Storm the Stars, the only nighttime endurance event in the Aspen/Snowmass area. Local enthusiasts and regional sports junkies charge up 3,000 vertical feet to the top of the mountain using their preferred choice of equipment and lighting. The race begins at the base of Little Nell, climbs up Aspen Mountain ski area finishing at the Sundeck Restaurant. The course follows Little Nell to the Bell Mountain Chair, then proceeds up Bingo Slot to Grand Junction where there will be a comfort station. The course then proceeds up Spar Gulch to the bottom of Ajax Express where there will be a second comfort station. The race zig and zags up through Deer Park to Silverbell and finally finishing at the Sundeck. Following the race, the general public is invited to join the racers for a party up at the Sundeck, featuring live music, food and beverages, and an awards ceremony celebrating the accomplishments of the evening. For those that don't want to race but still would like to support Summit for Life and the two Foundations it benefits have two options. They can ride the Silver Queen Gondola to the top and party at the Sundeck or they can just make a donation to support the cause. The event will benefit the Chris Klug Foundation and the American Transplant Foundation.
