REGISTRATION
The 2026 Vertical Challenge Finals take place at Jay Peak on April 11th! Anyone who won a medal/certificate at any of our previous tour stops this season is eligible to compete!
As in past years, the top three finishers in each category at each VC regular tour event automatically qualify for the finals, along with current and past recipients of some of our special awards for young racers (Dewey Bears, Chewy Dogs or Ollie Dogs).
Also, if one or more of the top three finishers in a race had previously qualified at an earlier tour stop, finishers in fourth (and lower) positions will move up, with a maximum of three qualifiers per category per tour stop in any case. If you’re uncertain, please reach out to us.
Registration is open until Sunday, April 6th.

SPECIAL NOTES
Anyone who has a Dewey Bear, a Chewy Husky, or an Ollie Dog they’ve received from the VC over the years should bring them to the Finals. We do a raffle just for this special group for a chance to win either a 5’ or 6’ stuffed polar bear.
If you did a charity fundraiser through your school, team, civic group, or otherwise this year, we’d love for you to officially present the funds during our awards presentation on the Aroma Patio on Tramside. Immediately thereafter we’ll award raffle prizes.
LASTLY...
We want to know from you whether or not you like the pod placement time slots. If not, we can go back to age-based time slots. When registering, you’ll have a spot to indicate your preference. We appreciate your feedback!
Feel free to email us at info@ski-vc.com with any questions. And follow us on social media (Facebook, X, Instagram) for further updates.
