Season preparations are underway with weekly strength training sessions and several team hikes and events on the schedule. See PlayMetrics for the full strength training and team event schedule. The Skimo race calendar is almost finalized, with several new local races in the works, including a new Utah Cup series presented by Utah Skimo in addition to the traditional Tuesday evening citizens series events. Stay tuned for new race announcements and race calendar updates. 

UOP Stair Challenge

Our annual club UOP Stair Challenge is scheduled for September 22nd from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Utah Olympic Park. Athletes from the Alpine Freeride and Skimo teams will be racing to complete the most laps on the 120-meter jump in 60 minutes. We’ll have prizes for the female and male athletes who complete the most laps. 

Utah Skimo Gear Swap

The annual Utah Skimo gear swap is scheduled for October 17th in the parking lot at Skimo Co. This is the only local Skimo/backcountry specific gear swap. Stop by and check out gear for sale or drop off any outgrown or unused gear to sell. A portion of the proceeds supports Utah Skimo. 

Team Orientations

We’ll be scheduling a team orientation and new athlete equipment orientation in November once registration is finalized. Stay tuned for dates and times.
