The Grand Traverse is an incredible event that combines my two favorite winter pursuits, backcountry skiing and ski mountaineer racing. Most skimo races exists primarily in the confines of the resort while the GT throws you in the middle of the Elk Mountains, one of the most gnarly sections of the Rockies in the lower 48. When you are out in the real backcountry for 40 miles it is no wonder that the gear list required for a 24 hour bivouac is a mile long.
Here is a little help from our experience, both as racers and long time gear shop employees. Our recommendations are prefect for someone who wants this gear, not just for the race, but as tools for years of backcountry and ski mountaineering enjoyment.
This two part video series is structured to educate ski mountaineers prepping for the Grand Traverse. For more information follow the blog post below or stop into one of our shops. Cheers!
