2019 Whitefish Whiteout
February 23, 2019
The Whitefish Whiteout is a mountaineering race, where competitors skin and bootpack up a variety of terrain, remove their skins and descend challenging terrain. The course will take competitors on an up and down route throughout the permit area of the resort and consists of 8 stages for the Long Course, 3 stages for the Short Course and an Ascent-Only Category. The Whitefish Whiteout is open to a variety of ability levels. Some racers compete with times that can be longer than 3 hours to complete the Long Course, or some are fast enough to climb to the summit in a mere 24 minutes and 52 seconds (this was the 2017 record by Mike Foote, besting the previous best ascent to the summit by 1 minute and 24 seconds).
The Whiteout is open to AT/touring skiers, telemark skiers and splitboarders with a men’s and women’s category in each. Choose from Single Ascent, Short Course and Long Course in each category. There is a maximum time of 4 hours for all competitors to complete the course.
