Welcome

The Wasatch Powderkeg is a backcountry ski race in the heart of the central Wasatch mountains, just outside of Salt Lake City.

The PowderKeg weekend will include 3 days of racing with the vertical, individual, and sprint disciplines of skimo racing.

Don't own spandex? That's ok -- the Powderkeg celebrates those that love the backcountry by offering recreational and youth divisions.

Each racer will receive an entry into our legendary raffle, which is made possible by our awesome sponsors.

Join Utah's annual backcountry celebration!
