They made a nice one. Was that a guy in the start with a rope on his pack? (congratulations winners Pete Swenson and Monique Merill).

    Great effort ‘Mericans! Big, long course. Technical, icy….
    Nice to see some familiar faces from Europe. One note Lou, you might want to change the title of your post to American Ski Mountaineering Championships. We do indeed need a continental championship race but this ain’t it. Maybe we could alternate the NA Champs between Canada and US by year…..eventually a World Cup might come of it!!!

    Very cool; but why do they have to throw in so much speeded-up footage?

    Dave, I thought that was odd as well. Seemed like they were trying to make up for lack of narration, though I was glad to see they made an effort to include some explanation of things…

    Makes me want to train…and get some REALLY light gear.

    thanks for posting the vid. looks like a rope, but i have to admit i paused the video and realized it’s actually a jacket strapped to a pack.

    too bad!
