2009 Asian Championship of Ski Mountaineering

The 2009 Asian Championship of Ski Mountaineering (Chinese: 亚洲滑雪登山锦标赛) was the second edition of an Asian Championship of Ski Mountaineering.

The event was organized by the Asia Ski Mountaineering Federation (ASMF),[1] and was the first officially sanctioned Asian Championship by the new International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF), which emerged from the ISMC in 2008. At this edition a vertical race and a relay race was added. So that the few female ski mountaineers could also participate in the relay race event, the teams were mixed with at least one female racer.[2]

The championship was held at the Beidahu ski ressort in the Chinese Nagano Prefecture from February 10 to February 13, 2009. Participating were racers from China, South Korea and Japan.
