At Lake City Ski Hill

The annual Lake San Cristobal Brew-Ski takes place in February from 11 am to 2 pm. 

This local favorite event consists of a day on Lake San Cristobal, where participants walk, sled, ski, or snowshoe (or any preferred form of human-powered travel) to 6 stations on a mile-long course on Colorado's second-largest natural lake. 

Each station will have beer tastings from our local Lake City Brewing Company, hot drinks, and snacks. Your ticket purchase allows you to travel the course one time.  You will be able to purchase an additional trip through the course on-site at the event.

We welcome pets! However, please keep your animals must be on a leash with a length of no more than 6ft.

Start at Lake city Museum.  $5 per person. All proceeds benefit Toys for Tots.  Hot drinks and baked goods served after the race.

The Lake City Alpine 50 is an epic, 50-mile, alpine endurance bike race with 6,000+ feet of climbing. 

The course heads out from downtown Lake City, Colorado onto Highway 149 towards Lake San Cristobal. Lake City’s namesake was formed by a rare natural earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide, which blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, creating the second-largest natural lake in Colorado and one of the most beautiful lakes in the entire state of Colorado.

The course heads onto Hinsdale County Road 33 (at mile 3.65), a dirt road located on the East side of Lake San Cristobal. Be on the lookout for moose, osprey, and bald eagles as the sun starts to cast its rays across this gorgeous lake. Crossing the bridge over the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River (at mile 6.65), the course heads back onto Hinsdale County Road 30 skirting the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River for the next approximately 15 miles before the climbing starts to get really tough at the American Basin turnoff. Along the way, you will pass by three 14,000-foot peaks (Handies, Sunshine, and Redcloud) and various abandoned mining towns (Carson, Sherman, and Burrows Park). You will also catch views of American Basin, a stunning wildflower wonderland and one of the most photographed places in Colorado. For the next 2.5 miles above American Basin, your lungs will be tested (1,350 feet of climbing) as you approach the top of 12,640-foot Cinnamon Pass. The one and only Aid Station will be about a mile below Cinnamon Pass (goodies, water, and Hammer HEED).
