2024 Hardrock Lottery Results
2024 Hardrock Lottery Webcast
Check out RD Dale's monthly missive for this year's runners!
Now that the lottery results have settled, all eyes are turning towards the San Juan snowpack especially in light of the predicted "Super El Niño" for the 2023-2024 season. El Niño events are characterized by warmer-than-average temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean and generally results in greater snowfall in the San Juans. The caveat this year are variations in the location of the thermal anomaly in the Eastern Pacific which could results in less than predicted snowfall in the San Juans. We should have a better picture by January. In the meantime, the December snowpack at the Red Mountain SNOTEL site is right at the historical average (about 25”), so we have a Three Bears situation: not too much, not too little, but just about right!
Hardtalk is a platform where we can tell the stories about Hardrockers, volunteers, the Silverton community and the History of Hardrock! Please join us as we bring on a variety of guests to discuss their time at Hardrock, or their involvement with Hardrock. Also check in for announcements regarding the run and discussion of the various policies associated with Hardrock. Currently the podcast is available on Spotify and Apple with more platforms coming soon! Please like and Subscribe! Suggestions and comments - send them to our way!
So Many Thanks to all of our volunteers, runners, pacers, crews, friends, family, partners & everyone for this year's run! Much more to come in the near future!
