to Koot winter alpine venture race begins at the Southeast Alaska State Fair-grounds and ends around six mile Lutak Road by way of Mt Ripinski summit of 1097 metres

ad-Lindsay Johnson and members

of the Haines Alpine Touring ety (HATS) started the race in 2017

Soci-as a way to build human-powered backcountry community “We’d been talking about a competition

of some kind and this race idea fi t

in with the larger Haines fest,” said Johnson, “Anyone who likes having human-powered fun

Winter-in the mountaWinter-ins All ages and modes [of transport such as skis, boards, snowshoes] welcome.”

The fi rst competition was held

on March 5th, 2017 and only one Yukoner competed, Guillaume Levesque In 2018, HATS moved the race date to February 22, during Yukon’s Rendezvous long weekend The change allowed the vast majority of avid Yukon ski-touring and splitboarding enthusi-asts to come and compete in the enduring race, to allow for driv-ing to Haines

“[I was attracted to] being with friends, spending a weekend

in Haines and supporting a ‘local’

event from a neighbour ity,” said Levesque “It also hap-pened when snow conditions were relatively bad in the Haines and White Pass the last 2 years, so it was fun to do something differ-ent.”

commun-The number of participants from the territory who ventured through the white out conditions

of the mountain skyrocketed, from one Yukoner in 2017, to 22

Yukoners out of a total 43 petitors in 2018 The fastest team took three hours and two minutes and the slowest seven hours and

com-43 minutes Most racers compete with skis and snowboards, but there is also an alternate option for snowshoeing part of the moun-tain

Graham Kraft, owner and craftsman of Fairweather Ski Works, has been a champion of the event both years, and a member

of the fastest team in 2018 with team members Bartosz Pieciul &

Ray Reeves However, with larger numbers of Yukoners present, they were closely followed by runners-

up Petr Polivka and Miriam ova from Whitehorse three hours and nine minutes

Luksz-When asked if Haines residents will always dominate the race, Johnson replied, “Not necessarily, especially if we keep the course the same The second-place team last year hailed from Whitehorse and were close on the heels of the winning team.”

“We defi nitely have strong people who could put in a com-petitive time at the event,”

said Levesque, “It won’t be me though! The Haines locals are used to doing that stuff as a quick after work adventure, so I guess it all depends who shows up.”

What will this year bring; will the Haines skiers and snowboard-ers be beaten by a Yukon team?

The Experience

I heard about this ski-touring race and I thought this was my op-portunity to really push my limits and grow my skills I had managed

to convince Erik Stevens,

fore-caster and director at the Haines Avalanche Center, to be my ski-touring partner for the race I’m sure to this day he still regrets the decision

The group of Haines and Yukon skiers congregated around Fair-weather Ski Works shop in the Alaska State Fairgrounds Most seemed rather intensely focused while some wore unicorn cos-tumes ready to have some fun dur-ing the race As users signed up,

it was made clear that you must have avalanche safety equipment,

a partner and run over the course details beforehand, to ensure everyone was able to complete the race safely

The mountain conditions were white out But the day before the race, in preparation for such a predicated day, Haines locals ﬂ ag-ged the entire route

The race started, some had ski boots on, some had hiking boots

on, but everyone was carrying their skis and snowboards as they walked and ran down the roads to Piedad Road, to start the ascent

up Mt Ripinski

Immediately, I noticed that crampons and spikes were re-quired, as the paths were covered

in ice It was my fi rst time in ski boots and crampons and to sum-marise politely, it was not a pleas-ant experience

As we trudged slowly up, I tinued to slip and we lost a lot of ground in the race, so much so that the sweepers caught up to us

con-“Oh Erik, what are you ing here?” the sweeper asked, shocked to see a Haines resident

Every part of my body ached, I had run out of tears to cry, and I was utterly exhaust-ed But most of all, I was so embarrassed I may have had one of my most horrible experiences after such a terrible backcountry ski winter and I may have utterly failed, like many endeavours in 2018 It took me a month to build my self confi dence again to go ski-ing But that’s part of the chal-lenge, even if you don’t see it straight away But now in 2019, I will go do this race again I’m almost cer-tain to be in last place, but I will complete the race with new skills learned and more confi dence (And not crying And, hopefully, under seven hours and 34 minutes Certainly, the bar hasn’t been set too high, right?)
