The Future Generation of SkiMo Racers

B’s first skimo experience

Our 9 year old has been asking for skimo gear for at least 2 years now and finally at the end of his alpine season, Michael made it happen and this weekend christened the sport together!

He is no stranger to running by my side. This past summer he was a great little pacer on the way up to Col de Grand Ferret in the CCC Ultra Trail.

On sunday, La Peux Y’a course, not too far from Chamonix organized by the local ski school. It was a great ambience and gave a chance for these little champions to test out their skills. Birken and Camille, both 9 years old and both only on rando gear 1x before gave it their best effort and had a great time.

So here’s to our future generation of skimo racers!

Parents, continue to be role models for your children and continue to inspire them to get out there and enjoy the adventure with you!
