Lesson #1: "skimo" means racing.

"Skimo" is short for "ski mountaineering racing." As the word implies, it's had most of the mountaineering taken out of it. And that's a good thing.

Testimonials

 

It's so much fun working with you. The FKTs are just a bonus. The feeling of being fast, pushing myself to new limits, is the most rewarding.

β€”TS, after running 53 km with 4,000 m of gain in 6h 17m

Thanks for all your help. What you had me do paid big benefits. I crushed the course in 10h20min and came in 1st.

β€”RD, after a 45-mile race with 12,000' of gain

Thanks so much for your really great coaching. This last training period was perfectβ€”there isn’t a thing I would have done differently.

β€”EF, before a personal best in the half-marathon

I was with a former professional cyclist half my age and a guide. I could have pushed faster than either of them at any phase of the day.

β€”RP, after the Grand Teton in a day

Working with you has shown the scope of improvements possible. If four months can result in this much, what will 4 years be like?

β€”MN, while training for climbing in the Himalayas

If we've made this kind of progress in 4 months, then I look forward to what can be down over the course of a couple of years.
