Ski Mountaineering, or SkiMo as it is generally known, is a growing competitive discipline in which lycra clad superfit fell-running types don very light specially designed skimo racing skis, “skin” up the mountain as fast as they can and then hurtle back to the bottom in a loop race. It’s a mass start, first over the line wins affair.

SkiMo is the domain of the superfit athlete with lots of stamina if you are going to win, but accessible to everyone who loves the opportunity to compete, climb, slide and just get out there.
