Snow King rises 1,500 vertical feet above the town of Jackson. The hill climb course follows a route that, near the summit, steepens to a nearly 45-degree angle. Hill climbers who lose it on the upper reaches of the course often tumble hundreds of feet back downhill.
The race to the summit of Jackson Hole's Snow King mountain. The even attracts racers and enthusiasts each year to cheer on their favorite racer.
It is not an event for the meek, as David Shepherd knows. Shepherd is one of the handful of drivers ever to make it to the summit. "It takes a lot of work to win, but guts mainly," Shepherd told a Jackson Hole Guide newspaper reporter once.
"Guts and a good sled will take you over the top."
Even spectators face challenges. Prime vantage points for viewing the race high on the course are on the same steep slopes that frustrate so many drivers. It is difficult to simply stand upright along some sections of the course.
