2025 Skimo Scotland - British Championship, 1st March 2025
Ski mountaineering racing combines athletic skiing with mountaineering skills, incorporating technical ascents and descents. It is suitable for serious and non-serious ski mountaineer enthusiasts.
There are different types of courses, ranging from vertical sprints, where racers skin uphill over a set distance to courses which have steep short sections which require the racers to put theri skis on their backpacks - all combined with techncal downhill sections.
The races are short (60 - 90 minutes) and are held towards the end of the normal ski piste day. Each race has been exclusively designed around the specific resort, using the extensive knowledge of the ski patrol to ensure racers ski the best conditions in a secure setting.
Competitors are supplied with an equipment list which must be carried over the distance. Competitors all start at the same time, and the fastest person to complete the course is the winner.
