Whether you are a Skimo expert or just beginning with touring, join us for 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! You will be bib-timed and have a 2 hour window to complete each challenge. The final challenge will award the top male, female, & non-binary competitors in each category: SKIMO, HeavyMetal, & 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
