Happy New Year from the SnowGoat!
Kulshan Randonnée - May 18th 2024
We received word right before Christmas that the Forest Service confirmed our requested race date. The race is on!
22 teams elected to roll their registration over from last year, so we only have three open slots available for 2024. A lottery to select the final three teams will be held, opening on Sunday Jan 14th and lasting until Sunday Jan 21st. Only one team member per team is allowed to submit an entry into the lottery (no cheating!). A waitlist will be formed for any teams not selected.
If you are interested in racing but don’t have a team yet, we have a helpful Free Agent Finder where you can submit your details and link up with other interested parties.
Friday Uphill Under the Lights
The Summit at Snoqualmie is starting a new uphill program this winter. Uphill Skills & Travel Program presents Friday Uphill Under the Lights. This class is for the relative beginner and combines the benefits of a fitness workout with the opportunity to learn about the technical aspect of uphill travel in a group lesson within the ski area. Participants can choose between a mini tour scenario or a more skimo/fitness focused clinic. Clinic dates are in the “off week” from the Friday night Westy’s Wildside WESTern races (Jan 12, 26, and Feb 9). Contact Rich Bennett at rbennett@summiti90.com if you are interested in signing up or need more information.
Mountain Shop Hosting a Skimo Kick Off Party!
We’re so excited for the ski mountaineering season that we are throwing ANOTHER Kick Off Party to celebrate! For those Oregon folks who couldn’t make it to the Puget Sound based party, Mountain Shop in Portland will be hosting a party on Thursday, January 11th from 6-8pm. Join them for conversations about skimo and training, and enter their raffle for some sweet prizes! Beverages and light snacks will be provided.
