CAMP Ski Mountaineering Race at Crested Butte - Jan. 18th update

COSMIC is pleased to announce that CAMP has assumed title sponsorship of Colorado's oldest event: the CAMP Ski Mountaineering Race at Crested Butte. Competitors can look forward to strong support of this favorite event with plenty of CAMP prizes.
At this time considering snow conditions it looks likely course will not be finalized until the night prior to the event. Snow is forecast for Crested Butte all week, so stay tuned. Whatever conditions bring us, CB will continue to be one of the most demanding courses in the COSMIC series.
