One of the crown jewels of the Gem State is the Zions Bank Boulder Mountain Tour, which winds its way through the pristine Sawtooth National Recreation Area, north of Ketchum.The Boulder Mountain Tour (BMT) is one of the longest-running and most celebrated cross-country ski races in North America.
A total of 1,000 skiers participate in the Boulder Mountain Tour, with 800 skiers in the 34 km Full Boulder and 200 in the 15 km Charley Course Half Boulder. The race usually is sold out.
Participants will toe the line for the Boulder Mountain Tour, beginning outside the historic Galena Lodge in the beautiful Senate Meadows. The 34-kilometer course features rolling terrain that is suitable for skiers of all ages and abilities. For families wanting to enjoy the course with small children or those new to the sport, the 15-kilometer Charley Course Half Boulder is an excellent option. This shorter course starts and finishes on the same route as the Full Boulder, beginning at Baker Creek.
Leading off the BMT is the NordicTown USA Sprints Thursday at Simplot Lot, followed by the Boulder Mountain Tour Expo featuring industry insiders, sponsors, goods, and bib bag pickup. The Expo takes place Friday at the Argyros Performing Arts Center in Ketchum.
With a dedicated team of experienced organizers and enthusiastic volunteers behind it, the Boulder Mountain Tour promises an unparalleled experience that will resonate with every participant. Join for a day of skiing, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories in the heart of Idaho’s winter wonderland!
