Queen and King of the Hill 2025 is officially in the books, and over the last four weeks, runners in Canmore and Squamish have been grinding up steep trails, comparing splits, and quietly pushing their limits.

After the 2019 Ski-Mountaineering World Championships in Switzerland, we asked some of the Canadian athletes to tell us more about their experience racing on the world stage. Here is what they had to say about the racing on the other side of the Atlantic.

Every two years, the world's best ski-mountaineering racers meet for the ISMF World Championships. This Winter, the action is taking place in the Swiss village of Villars-sur-Ollon. While most world champions will be Italians, Swiss or French, it's a great opportunity for athletes from across the globe, including Canadians, to see how they stack up against the best.

2019 is here already and in a few months we’ll be back on dry trails. Tons of racing, adventures and wicked days out will likely entertain our Summer, but first, let’s take a few seconds to look back at 2018 on the local trail running scene. Lots was acomplished, records were broken and tons of miles were raced. Here are nine of our highlights, in no particular order. What are yours?

Partnerships in business can be win-win if you’re willing to work with what you think is your competition. The end goal should be to increase the sport of ski touring and helping to ensure the customers win with strategic partnerships. We have been fortunate to partner with skimo.co for knowledge and advice for boot fitting, mounting and equipment.
