The Powder Keg Cup, Eaglecrest’s after-hours uphill-downhill race series, is back full force and in-person! The event turnout last weekend was great! Lots of spectators lined up at the Tower Bar to see a photo finish and some truly impressive finish times!
PKC was originally intended to be a single-race format this year. But, since enthusiasm for the first race was so high, we decided to plan two more! We are spicing things up by adding more divisions based on age. In addition to the usual divisions of men’s & women’s ski and split board, we’ll have one for participants ages 45-59, with another division for those 60+! There will also be an award for the best costume!
