The Dogtooth Dash- Ski Touring Race at KHMR

Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 by Registered CommenterShralp in | CommentsPost a Comment
On Saturday March 28th Kicking Horse Mountain resort is proud to host the Dogtooth Dash Ski-mountaineering Race. The cloverleaf style course links together all of the alpine bowls and two peaks for over 4200 vertical feet of skinning and boot packing. For the slightly less ambitious we have a condensed recreational course that covers about half that vertical.

There will be a mandatory race briefing in the day lodge at 7 pm(mtn time) where racers will register and have gear checked, receive their event lift ticket, racer package and detailed description of the course. Included in the racer package is a ticket for the gut busting Carbo-loading banquet the starts at 7:30 pm that night.

The race-gun fires at the top of the gondola at 10 AM sharp, and all competitors are expected to finish by 2 PM. The fun and merriment continues for the Après BBQ with Untapped musical guests, Awards and door prizes at the mountain top Eagles Eye Restaurant.

There is a ton of door prizes and give away gear from our generous sponsors Bigrock Brewery, Kicking Horse Coffee, Integral designs, MEC, Arcteryx, Black Diamond and Rossignol. Come out and test your ski-touring skills by racing up, down and all around the Dogtooth range finishing with a pint and friends at the top of the mountain.
