2024 Hardrock Lottery Results
2024 Hardrock Lottery Webcast
With the arrival of April, we have entered the "end game" of the 2023-2024 snow season in the San Juan mountains. If we'd like to label this snow season, perhaps a "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" description is suitable. The current snowpack at the Red Mountain Pass remains just at the long-term average (64") and the temperature/ precipitation outlook through May is for equal chances of above, below and normal temperatures and precipitation across southwest Colorado. The current snowpack and weather forecast appear to be "not too much, not too little, but just right (average)". Thus, we have high confidence that there won't be an egregious amount of snow on the Hardrock course this year but at the same time, the fire hazard/danger should also be minimized. No wildflower prediction yet. Of course, much can happen weather-wise in April and May...

Now in it’s 24th year, we have awarded 138 scholarships totaling $288,550 to San Juan Mountain community students in memory of Joel Zucker from New York state who died 36 hours after completing his third Hardrock Hundred run in 1998. Joel loved Silverton, the mountains, and especially long-distance running. He was a university librarian and the Hardrock Hundred community created this award to honor his memory.
