skimo Rules
The rules are simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you climb your chosen Everesting challenge height.
A Ski Everesting is completed on Skis.
Just hit the SUBMIT button in the top right corner, log in to your account and upload your Strava activity.
Our crew will carefully review your attempt, and once approved, you’ll earn your place among thousands of trailblazers, athletes, and adventurers in our global Hall of Fame.
To complete the challenge you must gain the total elevation of your chosen Everesting Challenge in one effort.
- Quarter Everesting 2,212m (7,258ft)
- Half Everesting 4,424m (14,515ft)
- Full Everesting 8,848m+ (29,029ft+)
- Everesting Half ROAM 4,424m+ (14,515ft+), Full ROAM 8,848m+ (29,209ft+) or 10k ROAM 10,000 m+ (32,809 ft+)
Check routes and segments on the Everesting Calculator to make sure they are appropriate.
Your attempt must be recorded on Strava.
ONE HILL (EVERESTING ORIGINAL)
- Anything that has vertical gain can be used to complete a ski Everesting.
- The chosen route must focus on one hill or mountain (e.g. you can’t base yourself in one location and ski multiple hills).
- Repeats must be full ascents of your chosen climb each time. You can’t commit to a combination of full and half laps.
- Once you hit your climbing target you can abandon the final repeat.
- You can start and finish the ski Everesting anywhere on the hill (bottom, middle, or top).
- Each repeat must be skied up and down (i.e. you can’t get transported down each time).
- You need to keep your device recording the whole time.
Everesting ROAM removes the requirement to repeat a single hill.
You may complete the challenge across multiple climbs and routes, accumulating elevation continuously until the required ROAM elevation target is reached.
ROAM can be completed as:
- Half Everesting ROAM 4,424m+ (14,515ft+)
- Full Everesting ROAM – 8,848m+ (29,209ft+)
- Everesting 10k ROAM – 10,000 m+ (32,809 ft+)
All other Everesting rules still apply, including completing the challenge in a single activity and recording the attempt on Strava.
- The challenge must be completed in one attempt with no sleep.
- Breaks for meals are acceptable.
- You can break for as long as you need, keep in mind this counts towards the total elapsed time.
- Your final time for the challenge is taken as the total elapsed time of the attempt, not the total moving time.
