Hi Gang,
Love seeing this stuff on WildSnow and the increasing level of interest by readers.
Just FYI – we to are trying to promote the sport of Ski Mountaineering in the US through gear reviews and race discussions.
I just did the Sellaronda Ski Marathon last week and wrote about it on our DolomiteSport site, this is a night race and is truly a remarkable event.

Also, for Twitterers: I am trying to get people to use the hashtag #skimorace for discussing the sport so there can be a central source of info. Please pass this on if you use Twitter.

Thanks All,
Dan Patitucci

They need to invent skins that work like those old pull down window blinds. Quick pull on the tip ring – shwip, shwip, shwip – they’re in a little roll on the tail.

It is about a couple of minutes into the Relay race video. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it!

Thanks for the report, Cathy, it’s great to get a firsthand description of these events in English!

Haven’t found the “cazzanelli skins pull” yet, but there’s a good chance it’s in here:

If someone finds it, let us know the time/video!
