RTTO FIS Nordic Ski Race

FIS LEVEL RACE

The Race to the Outhouse (RTTO) is currently scheduled as the North American opener of the 2025-26 ski race season. The RTTO is a FIS-sanctioned race. Serious competitors have the opportunity to get precious early-season FIS points. For the rest of us, it is an opportunity to wipe the dust off and get the season going.

The races are scheduled for Government Peak Recreation Area (GPRA) on homologated Nordic courses. Race format is TBD. The course homologations are posted on the FIS website; course maps from 2024 are visible to the left.

Backup location will be at Independence Mine at Hatcher Pass.

Entrants in the competitive race must have a USSS or FIS license. A “Citizen’s Race” follows for all each day after the competitive race.

Racers must pre-register online. There is no same-day registration. 

Competitive-race registration will close TBD.  

Citizen-ski competitors may register until TBD

FIS races will start at 10am each day followed by the Citizens Race.
