Ski touring races have been growing in popularity in the local region and beyond, the concept is a perfect fit for the resorts demographics, terrain and overall appeal.

Moving with the momentum of last year’s unique event, the 2013 race will embody similar course elements with the addition of further resort animation, attendance and media coverage - Ian Gale has designed and created one of the most challenging and scenic races.

The event will be sanctioned by the Alpine Club of Canada & the US Ski Mountaineering Association and will follow the IFSM ski touring race rules and regulations.

The award winning Eagle’s Eye Restaurant, will be the focal point for the event, with a clover leaf course that will have athletes, starting, finishing and looping through the top of the mountain during the race.
