#VERTICALDROP TO SHARE 

2025 
VERTICAL DROP 

REGISTRATION AND SIGN-IN

REGISTRATION area will be located in the

VIP parking at Kirkwood. Follow the flagging and signage - we will be set up near The Lodge at Kirkwood.

​

For those purchasing tickets on the day of the event 3/22/2025, be sure to buy your lift tickets thru us, not at a Kirkwood ticket window - our tickets are at a discounted rate and include race fee/admission, food and any extras. Tickets sell out, so we do recommend buying them online thru us.

​

Please remember, parking reservations are a new thing this year and are required. 

​

KIRKWOOD PASSHOLDERS are welcome to sign up to participate. Don't forget to bring your pass. 

​

Vertical Drop competitors will be designated a specific run and chair. We are confirmed for Chair 10, The Wall, as long as weather and conditions allow. 

​

To ensure individuals or teams receive points for each lap, you must check in with one of our Vertical Drop volunteers posted at the top of the designated run ...  we will be on site at the end to hand-tally vertical distance.

 

You'll get more info on how it works at the morning briefing. Along with final run designation.
