Since Skimo is a true winter sport that forces an off-season, our team has limited training during the summer months to allow athletes to focus on complementary sports such as mountain biking and running. We have a monthly team hike scheduled beginning on July 21st with Lake Blanche as the destination.  Participation in the team hikes is a great way to get to know other athletes and coaches and to get a little vertical training in. See PlayMetrics for the complete summer hike schedule. We’ll be adding regular strength training sessions to the dryland schedule beginning in September. 

On June 25th in was announced that Skimo will be included for the second time in the 2030 Olympics. In addition to the Sprint and Mixed Relay disciplines that were included in 2026, the Individual discipline will be added in 2030. This is exciting news and reflects growing interest in Skimo both in the US and internationally.
