Cam Smith on The Grand Traverse; State of Skimo; & Training for Skiing, Running, & Mtn Biking

Last Sunday, Cam Smith and Tom Goth set a new record at the Grand Traverse , which is a point-to-point ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen. Starting at midnight, racers travel 40 miles across the Elk Mountain range, climbing over 6,800 vertical feet. Cam is also a repeat winner of the Triple Crown of The Grand Traverse, so we talked to Cam about his record-setting night; skiing vs. skimo; his World Cup ski goals; and how he specifically trains for skiing and mountain running and mountain biking.
