Skatemo! Skate across lske, climb an ice cave 2/10/26

Skatemo! The 2026 Winter Games in the Dolomites in Italy feature the new Olympic sport of Skimo, or Ski mountaineering: competitors ski up a mountain, then turn around and ski back down. Oooooo… yeah! But there is an even newer new sport on Sebago’s highest peaks: Skatemo! First, contestants must skate across the pristine black ice of frozen Sebago lake, guided only by sparkling ice rainbow lights. Then, having lost their crampons somewhere on the lake, they must climb up thru a hidden ice cave in their skate boots, and greet the happy skaters and woodland creatures below: from the top! If you complete all this, you have a one in 5000 chance of having a friendly tailwind gently push you all the way back to shore… hey! It could happen…! What a great joy, on 995 billion gallons of ice, 316 feet deep, to find so much warmth from the skating folk: to finally meet Tommy Thompson… you read right!!! I can’t believe we didn’t meet before: Yesssah!!! And Dave Terwilliger in person, and Zac! And even tho we are just like one snowflake on 30,513 acres, I know I’m always going to find Jo and Chip and Jamie and Brie: wooHOO!!! Watch Skimo at the Winter Olympics, starting Thursday Feb 19th at 3:50 am: (go to bed early…) The NY Times says “Ski mountaineering, or skimo, is a big deal in parts of Europe, but especially niche in the U.S. To the unacquainted, the sport sounds like some kind of punishment handed down by an Alpine god. Athletes race up — up! — a mountain using “skins,” essentially abrasive wraps attached to the bottom of skis, allowing one to move uphill on snow, defying nature and physics. Racers move through obstacles, reach a flat point on the course, remove the skins, transition to downhill skiers and race to the bottom.” Confused viewers will find out all about skimo as the sport makes its Olympics debut this winter. The docket includes men’s and women’s individual sprint races and a mixed relay.    • What Is Skimo?
