Forget bedtime — we stayed up way past our bedtimes at the 4th annual Slopeside Slumber Party! Hot Pants brings you the full recap of glow-stick trails, mountainside mischief, and a dance floor powered by cheeseburgers, walking tacos, and canned cocktails. 🍔🌮🍹 It wasn’t just a race, it was a sleepover with running shoes — complete with sweaty high-fives, questionable decisions, and the kind of fun you can only have when you mix trail runners with Roundtop Mountain after dark.
