À propos de cet audio

Getting into skimo can feel overwhelming — the gear, the races, the rules, the learning curve. So where do you actually start?

On this episode of Skimo Gold, Travis Macy sits down with Mark Koob, race director, coach, educator, and the driving force behind Rocky Mountain Skimo, to break it all down. Mark shares his path from Idaho snowboarder to Colorado skimo lifer, what it really takes to organize and grow races, and how the sport is evolving in the U.S.

They talk through beginner-friendly entry points, what races to consider, gear expectations, and the behind-the-scenes challenges of building accessible, community-driven events. You’ll also hear how youth participation, the National Cup Series, and Olympic recognition are shaping skimo’s future — and where the growing pains still live.

Whether you’re lining up for your first race, thinking about directing an event, or just skimo-curious, this episode offers a grounded, insider look at where the sport is headed and how to be part of it.
