Welcome to the premiere episode of SKIMO Gold! Hosts @travismacy3 and Cam Smith dive deep into Cam’s action-packed 2025 season—high-altitude racing, Olympic dreams, and a croissant count for this season that’s climbing fast (52 and counting!).
Fresh off a standout performance at the @ISMFSkimo World Cup in Andorra, Cam breaks down @usaskimo strategy in the mixed relay event, a crucial step toward securing a 2026 @Olympics quota spot. He shares insights into race dynamics, elite-level training, and balancing competition with his work at the Adaptive Sports Center.
Beyond the grueling climbs and rapid transitions, Cam opens up about the mental game of SKIMO—working with a sports psychologist, staying motivated through setbacks, and gearing up for the @ISMFSkimo World Cup relays and the Mountain Trail World Championships in September.
Cam will be co-hosting SKIMO Gold regularly, bringing you insider knowledge, athlete stories, and all the stoke for the sport. Hit subscribe and join us for this epic first episode! 🥐🎿⛷️ #skimogold #skimountaineering #winterolympics
