This intimate and adventurous event offers three breathtaking routes—20km, 30km, and a challenging 40km 'Sawtooth Animal' loop—all on groomed snowmobile trails through the stunning Stanley Basin.

The 9:00 AM mass start creates a festive atmosphere before riders spread out onto the serene, white landscape, each route offering varied terrain and spectacular views of the frozen basin and surrounding peaks. With an aid station on course and the rustic charm of Stanley as your base, the fondo is a perfect blend of athletic challenge and winter tourism. Secure your spot in this limited-field event to pedal through a silent, snow-draped paradise where every turn reveals a new postcard-worthy vista.
