Ski Mountaineering
What is Ski Mountaineering?
Ski Mountaineering, also knows as "SkiMo" combines the endurance of a cross-country skier with the skill and strength of an alpine skier. This is great sport for current and former alpine, cross-country athletes, and all mountain and big mountain skiers. There are a variety of race distances and styles.
- Uphill only (25 min to 1h)
- Multiple ascents and descents (1h- multi-hour)
- Team Relay races (12-16m per leg)
- Team of 2 or 3 traveling & racing together (3h+ to multi-day stage)
- Sprint race combining all the skills under (4min in heats and finals like cross country skiing)
