Are you man enough for the Grand Traverse?

One of the most sought-after and rugged backcountry ski races on the planet celebrates 14 years of memorable moments and amazing athletic feats on March 25 – 26.  The Elk Mountains Grand Traverse follows historic mail routes that connected the Colorado mining towns of Crested Butte and Aspen in the 1880s.  For the first time, Trackleaders will provide SPOT-based tracking so the progress of racers can be monitored on www.elkmountaintraverse.org and www.trackleaders.com.

Registration for the Grand Traverse sold out immediately on Dec. 1, with 130 teams filling the slots.  Interested teams can check the bulletin board at www.elkmountaintraverse.org for openings that become available.
