Skiers Complete First Attempt at Colorado’s Hardrock 100

A team comprised of accomplished ultrarunners Jason Schlarb and Paul Hamilton, skimo racer Scott Simmons and videographer Noah Howell, have completed the first attempt at skiing the Hardrock 100, a 100-mile route through southwestern Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. The route, traditionally a summertime endurance run, is well known for the sheer mental and physical tenacity required—it boasts 34,000 feet of elevation gain, crosses 13 passes above 12,000 feet and maintains an average elevation above 11,000 feet.
