Rikert

Bogburn Classic 2026

Ben Theyerl · November 15, 2024 ·

Registration Forthcoming

Organizer Webpage HERE

New England skiers flocked to Pomfret, Vermont for many winters for a classic ski race that cites historical winners since 1986. The Haydock family welcomed the community to their property, highlighting the love of classic skiing in a low-key, friendly environment.  For nearly forty years the event persisted despite Mother natures whims.

In 2023 the torch was passed from the Haydock’s to the awesome folks at the Rikert Outdoor Center with the goal of preserving the nature of this race.  And so the event goes on — and is a favorite for old school skiers and up and coming rippers alike.

The Bogburn is for all skiers!  Lollipop to Masters! Join us!

The aim for 2026 will be to provide a single winding track through our historic trails outside the Tormondsen Race Trails.

Limited lodging with full shared kitchen will be available on a first come first serve basis — inquiries: rikertoutdoorcenter@middlebury.edu
