COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course will be a mostly downhill and approximately 1km. The race will begin with a short double pole section to spread out the field followed by a long downhill run with jumps and drops. The obstacles will not be mandatory, but will cost significant time if the B line is chosen. After a sharp corner you will ski back up the hill for the distance the race promoters find difficult and painful enough to be fun. You will then turn back downhill with some chances to get sendy as you approach the finish line. The map pictured is approximate.
