| 15th Annual |
| Elk Mountains Grand
Traverse |
| Crested Butte to Aspen |
The Elk Mountains Grand Traverse is a bold endeavor
in which men and women scale rugged, avalanche
swept terrain reaching over two and a half miles
into the sky, ski more than 38 miles, and climb
better than 6,000 feet. For reasons of snow
safety, the race starts at midnight and the
odyssey is made mostly in the dark. Skiers travel
at altitudes ravaged by winds that suck breath
from the lungs and rob extremities of feeling.
Routed over Star and Taylor passes, the Traverse
threads skiers
through a landscape both beautiful and terrible. Its
not just a race. People are tested. Gear is tested.
Nature is in charge. To ski it is to experience the
unconstrained power and exquisite loveliness of
winter's grip on the mountain world.
The Elk Mountains Grand Traverse welcomes both direct
and in-kind sponsorship. To find out how you can help
