SkiMo Fox Peak is on this weekend! ⛷️🏔️

Ready to skin up, rip down and test your legs? Join us at Fox Peak Ski Area on 1–2 August for a fun-filled weekend of ski mountaineering racing.

From the fast-paced Sprint Race to the iconic Fox 600, the weekend celebrates everything we love about skimo: climbing, descending and sharing big mountain days with great people.

This year’s Thomas Vialletet Memorial Race honours mountain guide Thomas Vialletet, who helped establish the event last year and tragically lost his life on Aoraki in November. Thomas’s passion for the mountains and ski mountaineering lives on in this special weekend.

📍 Fox Peak Ski Area, Fairlie
📅 1–2 August 2026

No chairlifts, no crowds — just big terrain, good company and an unforgettable weekend in the Two Thumb Range.
