Finally, a skimo race that is a bit more beginner friendly but still super fun and interesting! Westy's Wildside WESTern race series is designed to offer a good introduction into skimo racing, including a little bit of all the Skimo basics. Even if you’ve been skimo racing for decades, don’t ignore the race! It is still exciting enough and will be a great early season race to give you a benchmark for your training for the bigger races and test out any new gear you’ve gotten this season.

And to keep the fun going, the Summit of Snoqualmie is hosting live music at the Timberwolf Lodge after the race! Hang out, enjoy some beverages, and get your dance on if your legs can still take it.
