Compared to the 1975 Trofeo Mezzalama, which was also held as "World Championship of Ski Mountaineering" with the classes "Civilians", "Soldiers" and "Mountain guides",Rolf Majcen: https://archive.today/20121209103029/http://www.mountains2b.com/76-Weltmeisterschaften_im_Skibergsteigen-,e_14310,r_1100.htm Weltmeisterschaften im Skibergsteigen (German), February, 2004. the ICSM competition was only for members of the civilian national squads. Participants from countries without a squad could register with the help of the national mountain organizations. Equipment The equipment of the participants was very different: The start line scene set the stage, with all the techno-light skis of the Europeans contrasted with a pair of ‘fat’ skis and then a pair of ‘tele’ skis representing Team Canada. Our race suits were Gore-Tex, not Lycra, and we had no logos. By the graciousness of some other countries being slower than us, we did not place last. The best line we heard was from the Polish team, whom we passed on the downhill at high speed saying, “You guys can sure ski down hill fast.” Which meant that we were very slow on the uphills!Ski Mountaineering World Championships https://web.archive.org/web/20110722082254/http://www.offpistemag.com/themag/pdfs/op13.pdf 2011-07-22 , Off Pist, Vol. 4, Issue 8, March, 2002, p. 4. team race's report of the Canadian athlete Richard Haywood, ACMG The weight of the ultra-light skis of the European top teams was only about May 2020 including binding.
