- The USSMA has decided not to provide points to athletes participating in our event because of lawyers or stupid bureaucratic thing like that (write em a letter). Nevertheless, we’re still offering both USSMA and SMCC members receive a $5 discount on registration because we’re rad. SMCC members WILL receive points for participating in this race!
- If you don’t have a Whistler Blackcomb or EPIC pass, you MUST select the non-pass holder option and purchase a day pass. This is the cheapest price available (WAY less than at the window) and you need it to get to the start line! We will be riding the gondola up and passes will be scanned. This ticket is good for riding the lifts the rest of the day so hang on to it and go shred after the race!
- If you do have EITHER a WB season pass or an active EPIC pass, choose the option for SEASON PASS HOLDER. Don’t forget your pass on race day. It will be stressful to get a forgotten one reprinted right before the race. You will need to have the pass scanned to ride the gondola to the start area.
- If your mom is coming to watch the race, select the option for a “Spectator Voucher”. You won’t be charged for it but it gives us an idea of how many spectators to expect. We will have vouchers ready at bib-pickup and your mom will be able to take it to the ticket window the morning of to purchase a one day ticket for $101.00+tax. We strongly suggest this option for spectators!
- Registrants will receive a 50% off coupon for any Skintrack.com product. If you’re looking for a training plan or to purchase the Skintrack Manual For Ski Mountaineering Racing, use this code!
- Registration fee is:
- $45 for WB/EPIC pass holders
- $95 for non-pass holders
- Juniors (U20) may send an email to the race organizers (info@nullsquamishskimo.com) requesting a scholarship. Please send us a bit of information about yourself and we’ll do our best to make sure you can race!
We are trying to keep the registration cost as low as possible. Our organizing committee is ENTIRELY volunteer and non-profit. We just want to see this happen! Any money left over after the race will be donated to a good cause to be determined. In 2018, we raised $800 for Squamish Search and Rescue.
