Jura Uphill Club:

Let’s chase vert before the world wakes up.

This winter, the Jura Uphill Club kicks off. Our focus: linking turns together across multiple early-morning ski tours, building momentum as a crew and stacking vert before the workday begins.

Upcoming Tours

We'll be meeting for 4 weekday sunrise skins this winter. Two dates will take place at Sugarbush, one at Whaleback and one at Stowe.

Tentative Schedule:

Start Time: See Strava for specific start time

Finish: Back to the lot by ~7:00am (plenty of time to make it to work)

Terrain: Resort uphill routes (lifts closed)

Pace: Social. The goal is a lap together, not speed.

Community Vibe

Whether you tour every weekend or you’re trying your first dawn patrol, the goal is to start the day outside, moving uphill together. Expect sunrise views, a lap or two of skiing, and then back to reality, but with a grin and some vert already in the tank.
