The 2024 Silverton Whiteout is set to take place on February 3rd in Silverton, Colorado. This annual event will mark its 10th anniversary, promising an exciting day filled with thrilling activities for snow bike enthusiasts, XC skiers, runners, and snowshoers who prefer self-powered adventures. While the event caters predominantly to snow bikers, XC skiers are also welcome to participate. If you opt for XC skis, it's recommended to bring your older pair, as the course may include sections with rocks, sand, or even some tarmac mixed in with the snow.
The meticulously designed course offers a unique experience, combining alley riding, a glimpse of the historical Blair Street, a bit of singletrack, moments of solitude amidst nature, and breathtaking views. Stretching approximately 8 miles, the course duration is estimated to be around one to two hours, depending on snow conditions. Throughout the course, you'll find two aid stations: Arrastra, where you can find a tent, fire, and snacks, and the top of Shrine Hill, offering a cozy fire and bacon to indulge in the beautiful surroundings.
The event offers various categories, including solo, duo, 3-4 person teams, and family teams. Additionally, a shortened version of the course will be available for kids 14 and younger. Teams are welcome to share a single bike for the race, further fostering a sense of camaraderie.
To kick off the weekend, the Warm Up event will be held on Friday night at the Silverton Powerhouse, featuring the delightful sounds of the Six Dollar String Band. Following the race and awards ceremony on Saturday, participants can let loose and dance to the tunes of ORA band and DJ Tricerahops, both hailing from Durango.
