Skimo Northwest
Skimo Northwest was born out of the desire to be more than a race organizer for the Pacific Northwest skimo community. Through our support of skimo, we hope to encourage the advancement of education surrounding outdoor activities, fitness, and safety.
Our Mission:
To grow competitive ski mountaineering racing in the Pacific Northwest through race promotion, ski area advocacy, and youth development.
Prime Directives:
Produce challenging and inviting premiere skimo events through SnowGoat Skimo.
See our Race Calendar for more information.Advocate for the sport through private and public channels.
See our Uphill Advocacy page for more information.Develop the future of the sport through youth programs and clinics.
First and foremost, we are a Race Collective. Skimo races are difficult to produce, but we believe we are stronger together. Each Local Race Director is responsible for her/his race, but resources are pooled to produce the best series possible. Each Local RD retains a seat on our Board of Directors, while the rest of the positions are filled with at large passionate community members serving three year terms. If you have a PNW skimo race you think that would benefit by joining our collective, please email us.
