"We have to repeat it!". That was the general feeling after the closing ceremony of the first International Ski Mountaineering Race in Praxmar. Organizers, team leaders and the almost 50 racers left Praxmar with a great souvenir. The main goals of the event (sport, competition, learn, fun and friends) were completely fulfilled.

Following an idea of Karl Posch, the manager of ski mountaineering in Austria, this weekend is taking place an interesting project for the younger racers. Together with Germany, Slovakia and finally as well the North-east of Italy, he organises a 3-years series of races and training camp for the racers from 12 to 18 years. The first camp is taking place this week-end in Praxmar, in Tirol (Austria).

Dies ist das 1. Infomail zum Internationalen Tourenschi-Jugendrennen am 16. und 17.12.2006 in Praxmar/Tirol. Wir dürfen Sie als Partner vor und nach der Veranstaltung auf dem Laufenden halten und Ihnen aktuelle Neuigkeiten zukommen lassen!

Der Tourenschisport wächst und wächst. Ob nun wegen der Pistenverdrossenheit vieler Schisportler oder wegen der Faszination der freien Natur: das Tourengehen – oder fachlich richtig „Schibergsteigen“ – wird national und international eine zunehmend professionelle Sportart. Alleine in Österreich gibt es bis zu 600.000 Fans dieser Sportart!

Responding to the problem of the lack of young athletes in our sport, a developing program designed together by ASKIMO, DAV, SSA and www.skimountaineering.org will bring help and create the winners of the future races.

The 2-days program is open to all young people between 12 and 18 years with some experience on skimountaineering and a mature level on downhill skiing. Teaching and racing will be combined in this week-end, thanks to the volunteer help of experienced racers and the support of our sponsors (ABS, COLLTEX, DYNAFIT, PIEPS, SILVRETTA).

With a great sunny day took place the 18th March the Dachstein Xtreme Race, final race of the Europe Cup. Start was at 10 am from the upper station of the Dachstein cable car, without skins and in small descent. The itinerary had to be smoothly modified due to the bad conditions of the Schwadrin couloir, the steepest descent, but the Hoher Dachstein, the highest point of the race, could be done.
