Cascade Skimo Fastest Known Time Archive
Seeing how the community at fastestknowntime.org has grown and prospered through, I think that something similar would be a fun resource for us PNW folks. Since nobody else is doing it I'll give it a shot and see if it sticks. I am going to follow the guidelines from FKT.org. If you have a proposed Route to add to the list please fill out the contact form below, I'll be in touch and will get your info following the FKT.org submission guidelines.
A few other thoughts:
A few other thoughts:
- I am only interested in ski mountaineering objectives with clearly defined routes or high points
- In the spirit of Ski Mountaineering I think submissions should typically fall under the unsupported category
- I am only interested in routes that are significant undertakings or true gems of the range, no short strava segment BS
- I will defer to FKT.org for ski routes already on their site (such as the Rainier ID route)
- I will consider historic submissions, but ask that the outing was done in an intentionally fast style (yep, super subjective), there are plenty of old unintentional FKTs kicking around and it doesn't seem in keeping with the spirit of FKTs to include many of them
- I may withhold routes that I deem too dangerous for FKT competition (yep, also super subjective)
- I work 40-60 hours a week on top of skiing and may be a little slow to respond, please be patient
