The growth of the Wasatch Powder Keg into a three day event this year is a clear signal that more and more people fall in love with ski mountaineering racing each winter season. Also, it is a true testament to the quality of work its organizing crew has delivered year after year.
This is Powder Keg’s 11th edition and, as of now, it is the largest skimo race in the North America and the second oldest. There were few others that started sooner but have not stood the test of time.
