North American Ski Mountaineering Championships

1/28 - Sprint Race Results 
1/29 - Traditional Race Results

January 27-29, 2012

Crested Butte Mountain Resort is pleased to play host to the 2012 International Ski Mountaineering Federation’s (ISMF) GORE-TEX® North American Ski Mountaineering Championships presented by Arc’teryx. This is a new event designation for the sport of Ski Mountaineering in North America and includes a more technical course, including a class-five boot pack ascent. The ISMF North American Championships take place at CBMR on Saturday Jan. 28 and Sunday Jan. 29, 2012.

CBMR has been included as a race stop on the COSMIC series tour for the past five years and is one of the longest-standing venues with exceptional race success. The North American Championships course will follow a similar path to previous years’ races, however the new route also will include a technical class-five assent up The Guides Ridge to the peak of Mt. CB – a rarely attempted route during the winter months. The new course is being modeled after European Championships race courses to enable North American athletes to prepare for worldwide competition.

The ISMF North American Championships Ski Mountaineering race begins and ends in the CBMR base area and competitors will face over 5,000 feet of vertical elevation gain and loss, focused on much of CBMR’s most technical terrain. The ISMF North American Championships takes place at CBMR on Saturday, Jan. 28 with a Sprint race and the Individual race on Sunday Jan. 29, 2012; both races start in the CBMR base area.
