If you haven't experienced the "madness", it's time you signed up! We have something for everyone...from the pros to the kiddos. The Cross Country is on the New Mexico Off-Road Series, AND on the Alison Dunlap Junior Olympic Mountain Bike Series. We've got more singletrack this year, so come join us for a bigger and better event! We will also be celebrating our 7th year!

As always, there's a pro cash payback and great prizes. All races start at the base area of Taos Ski Valley. The cross country finish line is in the same place as the starting line. The hill climb finishes at the top of Frazer Mountain. The cross country is an excellent mix of two-track and single track, climbing up to 11,500 feet. Keeping things a bit more interesting, no two laps are the same. The kids races will stay in the base area.

Come see if you can break the men's world record (46:58) set in 2008, or the women's world record (1:01:30) set in 2010, to the top of our signature 5.5 mile hill climb, the 12,163 ft. summit of Frazer Mountain, or just watch the craziness and party.

Both courses are open for pre-riding the Friday before the event and every day of the riding season prior to the race weekend. Click here to learn more. The entire Northside area is open everyday for riding. Learn more on the Northside website.

There's a bunch of other fun activities for everyone here in the Ski Valley like chairlift rides, disc golf, volleyball, horseshoes, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking (for fun), and much more! Great food, shopping, and accommodations for all budgets. Make a weekend of it and stay in beautiful Taos Ski Valley!
