People have been dreaming of it, and we're finally bringing it to you. A world-class SkiMo race in the birthplace of Ski Mountaineering in the United States. The race format has three up and two down stages that can be tackled as an individual, dynamic duo, or relay team. While the actual course will be determined in the week leading up to the race, the five stages will include a hike/skin to treeline, an alpine snow climb with a single pitch of fixed line, a ski descent with a section of giant slalom gates, a second alpine snow climb, and a final ski descent all the way to Pinkham Notch.
