It is time to make the commitment to train hard. This 7 day ski mountaineering classic is not a weinie roast ... aside from challenging weather, challenging off-piste conditions, challenging route finding around crevasses, and lots of vertical, this will be much more enjoyable if we are all very fit. I am hoping to get a T-shirt printed up this summer, with something like these two images, to help keep our eye on the ball. Get psyched.
