About
High in the Wasatch Mountains, Snowbasin plays host to one of the most challenging 29029 experiences. Summer heat and altitude add a unique element to the weekend, while the epic sunrises and sunsets allow participants the opportunity to pause and reflect on how far they've come on their journey to 29029.
Trail Description
Beginning near the Grizzly Center at the base, don’t be intimidated by the first climb going up City Hill ski run. There are rolling hills mixed with sections of steeper pitches, eventually leading to a gravel road north of the reservoir pond before winding back to crest the top of the mountain at Needles Lodge providing breathtaking views of the surrounding region. The majority of the trail is on ski-runs consisting of hard packed dirt, rock and gravel, similar to dry desert conditions.

Check-in begins at Noon on Thursday. 29029 will kick off at 3pm on Thursday. We will have motivational speakers that afternoon to inspire everyone for the challenge ahead. The hiking challenge begins at 6am on Friday morning and continues until 6pm on Saturday evening. After the conclusion of the challenge, we have a ceremony to recognize everyone’s efforts on the mountain, with a party Saturday night to cap things off.
The challenge begins at 6am on Friday morning and continues until 6pm on Saturday evening. The gondola is running and you can hike any time you want during this 36 hour period. You do not have to hike for 36 hours nonstop. Do people hike at night? Some participants hike all night until after the sun rises on Saturday morning, but many go and get some sleep! We do encourage everyone to complete at least one hike once the sun goes down on Friday as it’s such a unique and magical experience. Hiking in nature, whether alone or with others, and only seeing the headlamps of other hikers is often a memory that participants talk about and share with others.
There are portions of the event that are participant-only, but spectators are allowed near the start area and also at the summit where you can cheer on participants. Accommodations included with registration are for participants only.
No, the entry fee does not include airfare. We will take care of everything once you arrive to the mountain on Thursday to check-in.
Yes! We provide location specific packing lists for each particular mountain, although relatively minimal gear is required for 29029. Trekking poles are strongly recommended and a headlamp is required. We recommend wearing moisture wicking base layers for the varying conditions throughout the day and evening, as well as trail shoes to provide additional traction while hiking up the mountain.
If a spot at any of the events becomes available, we contact those on the Waitlist in chronological order and fill an open spot on a first come, first serve basis. If we reach out to someone on the Waitlist they have 24 hours to claim the spot before we reach out to the next person on the list.
All participants at Snowbasin are provided with 3 nights accommodation in luxury glamping tents in our participant village. Single entry tickets include one bed in a 3-person male or a 3-person female tent. You can request your tentmates after registration (mixed gender tents available upon request if all parties consent).
In a Tent for Two entry, you and one other participant will have a private tent for the two of you to share. You'll have the option of having two single beds or one queen bed in your private tent. A Tent for Two entry includes registration for 2 participants.
The Single Entry option is for a 3-person tent, with each participant having their own bed. The Tent for Two costs more per person as there are only two participants in this tent.
Yes, we accommodate each of these meal preferences at 29029.
Yes, we include a 20-week Training Guide with your registration. This Guide is emailed on a bi-monthly basis beginning 5 months prior to the event. Our coaches have created these guides to help each participant prepare for the challenge. The Guide is a three tiered system (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) in which the participant can choose which level to follow based on the description we provide for each. If you’re willing to put in the work, this Guide will have you ready to hike 29029 ft on your event weekend.
This varies, as everyone has a different beginning fitness level. We do know that our 20-week Training Guide will help prepare you for the challenge. We also know that at some point on the mountain, the willingness to keep going becomes as much mental as physical. This is when climbing with us becomes a transformative experience for many.
Much of the experience at each of the 29029 locations is the same, but there are unique variables like average weather and terrain. Which ever way you go, a life changing weekend is waiting. Have questions? Click here to set up a brief call with our team!
