We have 2 courses on which skiers will be doing laps. A 6.5 km course for everyone over 14 years old, and a 1.3 km course for kids 14 and under. Older kids in the 14 and under age group may enter to ski in a 6.5 km lap. All skiers must do all their laps on the same course, they can't do a mix, and the course skied is decided ahead of time by the category entered. Here is the access route to the venue, plus info on the 2 courses.
Getting to the Start/Finish ("Stadium") Area The access to the Nordic Network is at the east end of P5, on the south (lower) side, before you get to the Daycare. NB If you're walking, please hug the edge of the trail so as not to damage the trail grooming. Go down the slope, across the open area, to the far right corner, then take the first left and cross the small bridge. Continue on CottonTail and you'll see the Stadium area on your left. It's on the 12th Fairway if you're familiar with the Golf Course.
