Twisted Sisters Course, Schedule of Events and Prizes are Official

The 2012 Twisted Sisters Competition is only three days away! Pre-registration is open, and the spots are filling up fast. We have moved the venue from the shadows of the Sisters into the lower Cirque (the same venue as the North Face Masters), which will give us the variety of terrain we need to make this the most progressive comp yet. 

Saturday night we have organized a skin/hike up Red Cliffs Ridge to have a bonfire in memory of our friend Randolph Green. This will be a short skin, and a bootpack will also be set. Please note this is a backcountry area, so bring the appropriate safety gear.

We have finalized the schedule for the event as well.
