Racers, friends, and the ski mountaineering race community,

After several days of patiently awaiting weather forecasts and praying for snow every waking minute, it is with a heavy heart that the Irwin Guides Ski Mountaineering Race is cancelled.

A lot of uncertainty with the storm and timing of the storm and the most recent weather report this morning is not looking super impressive, the discussion looks a little better with a possible 4-8” but we need at least a foot of settled snow which means a 16-18” storm. Irwin Guides thinks the greater potential is for Monday into Mid week. Thoughts are that if the race was held on Sunday it will not make much difference from Saturday at this point. We are close but all parties involved do not feel it is worth the risk of injury to racers and to guides having to respond. We hate to say it but:

It’s a NO GO.

Full refunds will be given within 3(three) weeks as payments are processed through registration and reversed back to each registered racer.

A skimo replacement race at Crested Butte Mountain Resort will take place on Sunday morning at 7:30am. Registration ($25.00) will be Saturday night at the Brick Oven during Cripple Creek Backcountry's pod cast and day of at the Start line Sunday 6:30AM. The race will be about 3500' of vert (only one whole division) with approx 3-4 uphill/DH transitions. It will not be on any of CBMR's extreme terrain, due to snow conditions.
