Description:
SKIMO RACE LEAGUE
Three weeks of Ski Mountaineering Races on Wednesday Nights in January -
January 15, 22 and 29th.
Skimo, or ski mountaineering, allows racers to skin up a marked course and ski down. This skimo race league is a low-key, evening community racing environment based more on having fun and less about glory. There is a different course each week. This series serves as a warm up for our skimo community preparing for the Whitefish Whiteout, February 8.

DIVISIONS
There are six categories. Please choose the category that is best suited for your fitness level. In order to have everyone to awards at a decent hour, we impose a Cutoff time where you cannot start another lap after 7:15pm sharp. This is only 45 minutes after race start, so only sign up for 3 laps if you are confident you can make that cutoff time. These categories cannot be changed once registered…so choose wisely!
