The Wurl. A New Video from Salomon
More great, and stoking, content from Salomon. The Backcountry Skiing Canada team did a traverse from Dear Valley to Alta but the WURL is an entirely different program. Bravo to Mali and Lani—seems like they learned a valuable lesson about condensation and air supply in a tent!Here's the scoop:
The Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup (WURL) is a litmus test for trail-runners in the summer, but has never been done in the winter. A 58km continuous ridgeline visible from downtown Salt Lake City, UT, it forms a horseshoe around Little Cottonwood Canyon and the ski areas of Alta and Snowbird. After attempting the marathon in the summer, Mali Noyes and Lani Bruntz set out to ski and explore some of the Wasatch's most iconic peaks and complete a continuous traverse of the WURL in the winter.
