2026 UPDATE
Hey everyone! The good news is we are insured! The bad news is the cost of the policy went way up! Unfortunately we have to pass some of that along to you in the registration fee, sorry about that. Registration now opens Monday, December the 15th. Also, by popular demand we added a Master's category for Long Course Race.
Refund policy: Only if someone replaces you from the waitlist
Join us for the 18th CROWBAR!
CROWBAR (Cache Regional Overland Winter BAckcountry Race) is a backcountry ski mountaineering (SkiMo) race that is held entirely outside of ski area boundaries near the summit of Logan Canyon, Utah. Started by a group of pioneering backcountry skiers in 2008, before SkiMo was really even a thing, we continue the tradition into 2025. This year's race will have Race and Tour Divisions for both our Long and Short Courses. Masters 50 and up may register for the Long Course Race. Note that Short Course Race is for the Juniors only (under 18).
The Course: Big climbs and fun descents on ridges, forested slopes, and open glades, while avoiding avalanche terrain and providing spectacular views of the Bear River Range and Bear Lake!
The race will be held at the Swan Flat TH/Garden City venue.
More information and rules can be found at the race website here
The combined ski/binding weight cutoff for the Long Course Tour is 1,450g (51 oz) per ski. If your setup is below this weight, then you are required to register for the Long Course Race division.
Long Course participants will need a Via Ferrata kit (improvised kit is allowed: Harness, 2 carabiners and a ~36" runner tied to the belay loop)
