Pack this

  • Trail shoes with aggressive lugs for scree and steep descents
  • Handheld or 1.5L vest reservoir + electrolyte tabs (sparse aid)
  • Lightweight wind/rain shell — afternoon thunderstorms common
  • SPF 50 sunscreen, visor/cap, and UV sunglasses for exposed ridges
  • 200+ kcal/hr fuel: gels, chews, or real food in vest pockets

What you should know

  • Course tops out above 11,000 ft (3,350 m) — expect altitude effects even if you trained at sea level.
  • Terrain is notoriously technical: loose scree, talus, steep grass chutes. Poles strongly recommended for 30K/50K.
  • Utah afternoon thunderstorms build fast on exposed ridges; lightning is the real risk — know bailout points.
  • Check bib pickup hours at Snowbird the day before — longer races typically have no race-morning packet pickup.
  • Aid stations are spaced far apart on steep terrain; budget 2–3x your road pace between them and carry accordingly.
