Battle In The Bowl
March 29, 2025 | Aspen Highlands
Highland Bowl is legendary for a reason—you earn every turn, and the reward is always worth it. Experience the ultimate test of endurance at Aspen Highlands' inaugural Battle In The Bowl. On March 29, 2025, participants will hike, ski, and repeat, racking up as many laps as possible before the clock runs out.
Competition Format
Participants will compete to ski/ride the most laps in the Highland Bowl from open to close. Participants must begin their final lap by 2:30pm.

The start will be near the entrance to the bowl at the top of the Loge Lift. Timing check points will be at the entrance to the bowl, the top of Highland Peak and the base of the Temerity Lift. There will be an aid station by the start/finish at the entrance to the bowl with water, electrolyte mix and basic snacks.
