Luggi Foeger Uphill / Downhill Festival

5th Annual Luggi Foeger Uphill/Downhill Festival & SkiMo Race: March 24, 2024

The 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.  

2024 Race Results

Thanks to all our sponsors, partners and everyone who made this event possible! We had an amazing event with a great group of participants and spectators. 2024 podium results and times are posted and photos will be posted shortly on the Luggi Foeger Race Results news post.


Updated Schedule of Events – Race moved to Sunday

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.)
