    The Canadian Ski Mountaineering team has been busy training hard all winter long, blazing up skintracks near you and pillaging powder stashes. Training  and having fun in the backcountry takes a bit of the sting out of the interval training building up for the world championships. Great performances at the big races have made the sacrifices worth it. If you can call long descents, multiple laps, and deep powder a sacrifice. It may seem like we are a little too comfortable wearing lycra and skiing short and skinny skis, but I assure you, we still know how to have fun.

    Nice chute bro, almost makes up for the lycra up the cat track ;)

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I only got video during the vertical race and the relay start because I was racing the other events! Mark Smiley got to ride in the helicopter for the individual race and he got some amazing video


    There's a lot of user created ski touring beta on the websites over there. Sort of what this website strives to achieve.

    Watching that video made my legs ache!  Those ladies are burrrning up and down the mountain!
