Rad Skimo - Marshall Mountain, Missoula, Montana
Rad Skimo is a ski mountaineering VK and Sprint event; athletes skin up the climb, remove their skins at the top, and descend (depending on the race) back down to the base area. These races are open to all abilities-- from competitive athletes to those just getting into the sport. You're allowed to use skimo skis, AT/touring skis, telemark skis, and splitboards. Skimo/lightweight race results are part of the Big Sky Skimo Cup, www.bigskyskimocup.com, part of a series of races in Montana.
