2015 Porcupine Big Cottonwood Hill Climb – Report, Results, Photo Gallery
By Dave Iltis
The Porcupine Big Cottonwood Hill Climb was held on June 6, 2015, a day when the weather looked threatening but fortunately stayed clear.
214 racers lined up in the two main fields – citizen’s and licensed riders. The massive hill climb covers 14.7 miles and 3800 vertical feet from the front of the Porcupine Grill to Brighton Resort. It’s a tough climb, with extra steep sections by Storm Mountain and the S-Turns.

In the men’s pro/1/2 event, Mitchell Peterson (Canyon Bicycles Shimano) outdueled Cameron Hoffman (Endurance 360) and Chris McKay (unattached) to take the win. The field stayed together with 10-12 riders after the S-Turns and through the flats to Mill-D. There were a few attacks just before the next steep section near Silver Fork. Following one attack, Chris Mackay countered and Peterson and Hoffman went with him. “We had break of three going with Cameron Hoffman and Chris McKay.” Hoffman played it smart and wouldn’t work with the Peterson, who is a better climber. “Being in this position before with Cameron where he’s beat me in the sprint having not done any work. I knew he was saving something in reserve.” Peterson attacked on the steeper sections and finally shed the two at Camp Tuttle, just before Brighton. “Fortunately I was able to get away and hold it to the line.”

Peterson finished about 150 meters ahead of Hoffman and Mackay for the win. He followed up with a third place later that day in the Deer Valley Intermountain Cup Race.
In the women’s race, Breanne Nalder (DNA Cycling p/b K4 Racing). “I went hard from the gun to stay with the lead men as long as I could. I ended up in the first chase group. We stayed together the whole time.” She finished almost three minutes ahead of second place Mindy McCutcheon and five minutes ahead of third place Alison Frye. She was happy with the result, “I had a great day, it was fun out there today.”
Peterson and Nalder both took home a pair of Surface skis for their wins.
The Porcupine Hill Climb was promoted by the Porcupine Pub and Grill and the Porcupine Cycling Club.
