North America’s only backcountry glaciated ski mountaineering race. Highlighting the soul of the sport. We are proud to host the USA Skimo US National Teams Championship!

Taking place on the southern flanks of Kulshan (Mount Baker) in the North Cascades, the Kulshan Randonnée will be a race like nothing else out there. Teams will tour together through the Mount Baker National Recreational Area: racers ascend up to the Park Butte Lookout, the Easton Glacier, and the Squak Glacier, then ski fantastic lines down to the our Finish party in the woods. No matter if this is your first competitive ski event or you’re a grizzled veteran, our Short and Full Courses hold the challenge you’re looking for.

New for 2027, we are switching to a minimum team size of 2 for both distances and removing the requirement to be roped together on the glacier section (the previously required Skills Check Assessment will become a glacier skiing education seminar).
