Thanks Governor Jared Polis for recognizing all sports especially ski mountaineering racing!

Colorado’s outdoors are world-class year-round—from mountain trails to high-alpine endurance sports like skimo. Proud to see Colorado athletes drive innovation in outdoor recreation.

Done
Dusted

Were extremely sorry to report due to massively deteriorating conditions were forced to cancel this years Skinny Ski Mountaineering Race.

With 5-7” of active melt per day, incoming snow will mask the conditions below, and for the safety of racers/patrol/volunteers the cards are stacked against us in every way possible.

Refunds will be rolling out shortly.

Bring some rain/snow moisture!

Catch you for the 20th year of the COSMIC series next winter.

The Silverton Skinny is On!

We’ve heard some whispers, and we’re here to clear the air—we are heading to Silverton. It is official: The Team Championship will be rugged and technical, the countdown to April 11th is officially on.

The Fine Print: Because our ability to move forward is based on 2 critical factors:

1)registration numbers
2)safety

To ensure this race provides the world-class experience it deserves, we need a minimum of 40 teams on the start line. If you don’t register we can’t do this. Period.

If you’ve been waiting to sign up, now is the time to commit. Please don’t delay on registering—your participation is what makes this happen.

The Guarantee
• Lodging: We are working hard to secure heavily discounted (and potentially even free) lodging options to keep this trip accessible.
• Refund Policy: We want you to feel confident in your plans. If for any reason the race cannot proceed, we will refund 90% of all registration fees (everything except the credit card processing fees). We have your back.

Details:
• Location: Silverton, CO
• Date: April 11, 2026
• Register: cosmicski.com/event/silverton26 (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://cosmicski.com/event/silverton26)

Grab your partner and we’ll see you in the San Juans.

Prepping for Sunday!

We love serving up hard, humbling, and ass kicking ski mountaineering races. Point Blank. Come on down to this weekend and we’re gonna serve it up.

Also & we’ve got some free entries for this weekend or in in April. We’ll personally guarantee a proper ski mountaineering event. Just like we’ve done in creating races like Irwin, CBMR, Power of 4, Jackson Hole, Taos, Shedhorn, Monarch, Tellurando and more.

See you all this Sunday for a proper race.
