The Five Peaks Ski Mountaineering Race

An exciting new ski mountaineering race, The Five Peaks,  has succeeded in rousing me from my blogging slumber. Oh, to be young again and see a race up and down the seductive Ten Mile Range above Breckenridge! How can anyone with young legs resist? A race that starts with a skin climb of about 4000 vertical feet! A race that keeps you mostly above timberline except for leaving and returning to the valley. A race that takes you a total of 10,000 feet up and down. A race of truly Euro proportions. And in the Spring! (April 10th)

Good luck to Pete Swenson for creating this race and thanks for doing it.
