The first race of the Colorado Ski Mountaineer Cup season is in the books. And what a race! Different from last year being a full on powder day with a January like snowpack and 2 feet of fresh powder, this time the athletes were greeted by thin conditions and October like weather. But, as race organizer said, “it’s a ski mountaineering race” and part of the attraction is dealing with conditions presented to you. Safety and preparedness are the emphasis. But tell that to the top end of the field. The seasons leading up to now have initiated a strong and elite field of men and women racers that all know how to go fast, take chances and have fun! Please visit the COSMIC sites to read more and look at results.

Even though it has been snowing on and off for weeks my thoughts have been on spring and spring skiing. Even though everyone is talking about biking and the desert, I’m trying to focus on skiing the peaks of Crested Butte this spring and summer. Our snowpack is deep from a good snowfall this winter and will provide for some good skiing despite the “gray” layer that arrived instead of the “red dust layer” of past winters.

Qualifier-Headwall
After having to take a weather day on Thursday due to high winds and blowing snow the Freeskiing World Tour was able to hold the qualifying runs today on the Headwall at Crested butte Mountain Resort. Conditions were variable from soft new snow from yesterday to hardpack. One thing was for sure and that was the caliber of skiers was turned up a notch.
Read on at the Mountain Weekly News
Day 1 – Staircase/Slot Rocks/Body Bag Glades
The Subaru World Freeskiing Tour continued at Crested Butte Mountain Resort on Saturday and Sunday. After a weather day on Thursday because of high winds and blowing snow the forecast for the weekend was back to questionable. According to the Crested butte Avalanche Center there was 15-25” of snow in the forecast for before the end of the day on Sunday. On Saturday, however, the storm held off and the competition was held under a mixed sky of fast moving clouds and a few sucker holes of blue sky.

Day 2 – Spellbound Bowl
The Storm arrived. Crested Butte Mountain Resort received 10” overnight and this officially qualified for a Powder Day. The snow was still falling at daybreak but there were glimpses of blue sky moving through so the comp was set to go on. The base area was alive and packed with competitors, MSI employees, volunteers and snowmobiles hauling around last minute requests on top of the throng of spectators that looked more like an Everest Expedition with packs full of beer, sleeping pads and bags, tripods, camera, camcorders and even megaphones to heckle the rest of the crowd and their favorite skiers.
