Ski for speed or ski for joy; it's a FUNSKI either way.
The FUNSKI series is open to skiers of all ages and levels of fitness and experience.
December 16: Solstice Ski (no racing) CANCELLED
January 3: Bozeman Creek Hill Climb (classic)
February 13 : Valentine's Relay (skate) & Rail Jam
The FUNSKI series is about challenging yourself while having fun and building community. Races will be timed and results posted, but no individual awards will be given. We celebrate everyone's efforts with beverages, snacks and good cheer after each event. *All races have kid-friendly distance options. Bring the whole family!
RAFFLES: Every time you race, you get one entry for our end-of-season raffle. Fastest male and female for each distance will receive two additional entries, and the top five in each distance will receive one additional entry.
CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW MELT.
No racing for this one! This is a free, casual community ski!
Tuesday, December 16
4:30 pm
Join BSF for an evening of luminaries on the ski trails. (Not a race: just come and ski and enjoy the magic of lights, snow, and skiing.) Free and open to all. Based at the Pump House area, across from the hospital.
The closest parking lot is the Softball Complex - jump across the street at the traffic lights and ski on up to the Pump House.
A fun, classic, all-uphill race up Sourdough Canyon. Bring your classic skis.
Saturday, January 3
9 a.m. Start
3.5 KM Climb: Start at the 1-mile marker on the groomed trail up Bozeman Creek/Sourdough. Finish at the outhouse.
6.5 KM Climb: Start at the 1-mile marker on the groomed trail up Bozeman Creek/Sourdough. Finish at the bridge.
Then enjoy a relaxed downhill ski back to the trailhead. Please keep it slow and controlled around other skiers on the descent! We'll have snacks and hot drinks for racers at the trailhead!
Skiers should park at the water treatment plant, 7024 Sourdough Canyon Road, and take the BSF van shuttle to the trailhead--about 1/2 a mile. Shuttles will begin at 7:45 a.m. This is part of our permit requirement, and it will alleviate parking issues at the trailhead.
Pre-registration (online) required by 9:00 p.m. on January 2. No race-day registration.
$15
RELAY: Find a relay partner and team up for this fun course on skis. Costumes highly encouraged.
RAIL JAM: Plus we have some extra festivities and a Rail Jam all taking place near the start/finish area.
2-person (each person will ski two laps). Kids can form a 4-person team (each person skis 1 lap).
*When you check-in at the race, please check-in as a team so that we can link your team together in the timing system. (Racers should still register individually; you can do that online, in advance.)

If you've already registered for the FUNSKI series, no need to register again. Each relay team member registers individually. We do not need to know who is on your team until race day.
Looking for a relay partner? We suggest arriving early and hanging out near the registration table to find a relay partner (you can even yell out "single!" like you would in the chairlift line).
Not yet registered? Register online in advance! Registration will close at 4 PM on February 13.
When you arrive, please check-in as a team so we can link you in the timing system. Arrive extra early! This event is popular, and we have a lot of teams to check in!
The BSF Ambassador Board is helping us make this an extra fun apres ski event. Stick around for:
