Spearhead Traverse Race May 22nd 2010

  • 2010-05-07 23:47:07

    Every year, a group of skiers get together to go race around the Spearhead Traverse, regardless of the fact that the race has not been sanctioned or sponsored, even really organized by an official body of some sort.  The need and want for a race through this amount of unbelievable terrain is so strong, it exists purely out of the enthusiasm and stoke of all those who come and do it.  This year is no exception.  Saturday, May 22nd, Blackcomb To Black's is back!  B2B's has been happening for a long time, and hasn't ever been missed, more than a decade!  Always underground, unsanctioned, and a classic backcountry ski bums event. Hopefully one day, we'll see this race become realized and be an ISMF ski mountaineering event.
