Luke Nelson 5th, Scott Simmons 4th, Brian Smith, 3rd, Wick 2nd and mia Marshall Thompson 1st for Skimo Race |
The Ulitmate Mountain Challenge comprised of :
- 10Km Nordic race on Friday
- Ski Mountaineering race on Sturday
- Uphill only race on Sunday ~2600ft of climbing on any gear you want (human powered people)
Hats off to the event staff that pulled off the first ever Teva Winter Games. The skimo event had a nice off-piste feel for Vail. With nearly 8,000ft of elevation gain and over 20mi of ski touring, it turned out to be a "mini Grand Traverse" in Vail....basically circumnavigating the ski area boundry (yeah Vail is quite huge).
