&serverGet A Partner and Bring The Battle to the Mountains
Helly Hansen's Big Mountain Battle is going into its 2nd exciting season and we want to invite you to join in the fun and excitement of a little adventure on the mountain you thought you already knew. We want to take you to corners of the mountain you may not have been to for years, send you hiking up a climb you would have never thought to do, go searching in the woods for a checkpoint and you get to do it all with your buddy and get tracked in real time GPS by our friends at Flaik.
This is a team-based event, which is open to all ages/levels and allows exploration of the entire mountain! Each team of 2 must cover off all the checkpoints lifts, runs and hikes around the mountain in a 3 hour time period. Every team will be given a course map and team card (you can download them from each venue page) and will all be tracked by Flaik GPS. The top three teams with the best times to complete all checkpoints, runs and hill climbs will be awarded prizing but the top team will win the biggest prize of all, see below.
THE GRAND PRIZE, BATTLE IN ASPEN!
The winning team to complete all checkpoints, runs, lifts and hikes from each event will win a trip to Aspen/Snowmass to represent their mountain in the final Battle in the Bowls. This grand prize package will include airfare, accommodations, a little shopping at the Aspen HH store and entry to the final Battle in the Bowls.
