Let’s just hope the USSA doesn’t co-opt control of this sport and start governing the equipment for the “safety” of its participants…
The DoJoe race see – http://www.dojoe.org/ at Eldora, just outside Boulder, CO
February 24th
This race is fun because it has a costume contest (which takes the best prize) along with AT, tele, and snowboard divisions.
Obviously, I am not an HTML coder.
Thanks all! Keep em’ coming!
@andy don’t worry we are
22nd Annual EPIC Adventures 49N Hill climb. Hosted by 49N Ski Area and EPIC Adventures Outdoor Program from EWU this event has racers skiing up-hill to to the top of Chewela Peak in Washington State followed by a hasty decent back to the startline just above the lodge. Most skiers still honor the race’s history by competing on tele gear although the lightweight AT gear and splitboard setups are just now starting to show up 😉
Race Date: 01/13/2013
Start Time: 8am
Registration: 7am in main lodge
Arguably the largest athlete field at the start line and longest (race distance wise)…in your back yard Joe…

….and a “teams’ race at that, taken after the fact that Backcountry skiing is usually done with a partner.
Don’t forget the beck ascent series: http://www.townofbreckenridge.com/index.aspx?page=1344
And the A Basin Rise and Shine Rando series: http://www.arapahoebasin.com/ABasin/mountain/calendar.aspx

This is a great resource to keep up on all the races–especially if you live in Europe since there are so many of them every weekend. It has links to almost all of the races. Don’t know how they can keep up, but the do.
I’m still not sure the Elk Mountains Traverse is a a ski mountaineering race. Seems more like a nordic race done partially in the backcountry. But whatever, we’ll let that one go (grin). Lou
