The town of Frisco will host its annual beer festival on skis — Frisco Brewski — at the Frisco Nordic Center on Saturday, March 8.

Like previous years, participants are encouraged to wear their best costumes and ski along the Nordic Center trails to sample beers from nine Colorado and Wyoming breweries.

While there are many Nordic races in Summit County throughout the winter, the Brewski is not a race, but rather a chance to ski or snowshoe with friends and family. The event will not be timed and prizes will be awarded for the best individual and group costumes, most ridiculous costume to ski in and more.

Skiing and beer sampling will take place from 2-4 p.m. starting at the Frisco Nordic Center lodge and continuing onto the Nordic Center’s groomed, scenic trails. The after-party, from 4-5 p.m. at the Frisco Nordic Center lodge and deck, will wrap up the day with more libations and a costume contest. Nonalcoholic beverages will also be served at tasting tents on the trail and at the after-party.

Classic cross-country or skate skis are recommended for this event, but participants may also use snowshoes, AT or telemark equipment. All participants must wear skis or snowshoes; tennis shoes or snow boots are not allowed on the groomed Nordic trails to prevent damage. Discounted rentals will be available for $15 for all Brewski participants starting at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, on a first-come, first-rented basis. The course follows some of the mellower terrain offered at the Frisco Nordic Center and is designed to accommodate participants of all ages and abilities.

Registration is $55 for adults and $25 for youth under 21. Registration includes a taster cup, beer sampling for participants who are 21 years or older and a Nordic Center trail pass, as well as giveaways and prizes for costumes.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Friends of the Dillon Ranger District, who will be helping judge the costume contest and serve beverages.
