WHY SKIMO? 

Because winter is cold and Skimo is fun.

Montana is home to some historically awesome skimo races. The goal of the Big Sky Skimo Cup continues to bring coordination to the sport of skimo, grow the user Montana base of engaged athletes, partner with businesses/organizations, and strengthen our outdoor community.

How does it work? 

This year we're crowning champs in both the individual and vertical disciplines.  Race in at least two vertical and/or two individual races and you are eligible for the cash purse, prizes, and being crowned as the Skimo Champ of Montana (only your top three scores count).
