Upcoming: Chomolungma Mountain Bike Challenge

Snowshoe Mountain’s Bike Park is set to host the third annual endurance mountain biking race, The Chomolungma Challenge, on August 16-17, 2014. The endurance downhill event, named after the traditional Tibetan moniker of the most intimidating peak on the planet, Mt. Everest, will dare riders to face the ultimate physical challenge. Racers will descend the equivalent vertical elevation of Mt. Everest, down Snowshoe Mountain. Each ride down the world-class terrain of Showshoe Bike Park’s Western Territory is 1,500 vertical feet. Riders will complete their laps and the first to finish the total of Mt. Everest’s elevation – 29, 035’ – approximately 20 laps - will be deemed the winner of the 2014 Chomolungma Challenge. There is over $8000 in cash and prizes for this year’s races.


This race will test your stamina as you compete in solo, duo team or quad team to descend the height of Mountain Everest on Snowshoe Bike Park’s legendary Western Territory.
