This is the only time in the year that dirt bikes are invited on this private mountain.

The Super Kings Prologue will be held all day on THURSDAY, JUNE 12TH, 2025 scheduled to start at 9:00AM

The Prologue is a motorcycle race on a closed course with EnduroCross elements and the challenging elements of Hard Enduro.

Riders race over obstacles like rocks, logs, and tractor tires. The obstacles vary from race to race.

Finals will be held on Thursday evening on the same course.

For spectators, the Gondola ride to the Mountain Haus terminal on Kellogg Peak starts in the village of Kellogg, ID at the base of Silver Mountain at an elevation of 2,300 feet. Once seated in the 8-person Gondola carriage, spectators start their 3.1 mile (19 minute) ride up the mountain, travelling 3,400 vertical feet to an elevation of 5,700 feet.

This is a true ski mountain, and while it will most likely sunny and dry, it is advised that you come prepared for anything. What does that mean? Bring clothes for stellar sunny weather…as well as some layers in case of rain and cold weather.

Clothing recommendations: Layers are your friend, as a warm summer day can turn into the threat of snow very quickly.

Bring sunscreen and a hat, but also include gloves and warm gear if mother nature decides to turn down the temperature.

Worst case scenario is that you need to ride down the gondola to grab more clothes (about 20 minutes each way)…but it’s easier to make sure you’ve brought them in a backpack or tote so they are available just in case!

You’ll see race-spectator veterans with backpacks that hold everything from water and snacks to a compactable down jacket, beanie, and gloves.

Coming soon: Recommendations from an experienced race-mom for what to pack for you and your kids for the day.

Recommended items that should be packed in the stroller or pack. It’s a long gondola ride back down if you forget the essentials for the kiddos!

  • Stroller/backpack
  • Extra kid’s snacks
  • Diapers/wipes
  • Umbrella
  • Sunscreen
  • Blanket
  • Change of clothes
  • Hydro H2O pack
  • Toys for the dirt/sand
