Event Info

Whether you are a Skimo expert or just beginning with touring, check out Copper’s Winter Race Series. This exciting program, presented by our partners at Mammut, will welcome uphill skiers of all abilities to come enjoy Copper in a new, different way. Participants will be bib-timed and have a two-hour window to complete each challenge. The final challenge will award the top male, female, & non-binary competitors in each category: SKIMO, Heavy Metal, & Split Board.

  • SKIMO: Ski Mountaineering racing is a human-powered endurance competition that involves climbing mountains on ski/splitboard, and passing through a series of acents & descents
  • Heavy Metal: Participants with traditional backcountry skis, boots and bindings rather than specialized skimo racing equipment
  • Split Board: A snowboard that can be divided into two parts to be used as skis with skins for ascents

Venue

All challenges will take place live with existing and modified uphill routes at Copper Mountain. All participants must check in with organizers at the event start prior to the race.
