Vert180 skimo race - VIDEO
The race is over and the results are in, check out skintrack.com for full details and have a watch of the vid below and read a few thoughts from them:
Fun, great snow and “go-go-go” were the words flying around at start/transition area of the Vert180 skimo race at Canada Olympic Park. As a great surprise (in Calgary terms) about 15cm of powder fell during the event and temperatures didn’t even drop below -8 C.
Over 70 racers competed in various categories – solo, 2 or 4 person relay teams. Race course lap was the same for all and tested everyone’s skimo racing skills. Yes, the downhill at COP is not the most exciting but the atmosphere of a lap night race easily makes up for it.
