Each race distance will have a mass start, with the 30km race leaving at 9am and the 15km race leaving 5 minutes later. The 15km course is rolling and utilizes most of the lower trails. The course traverses excellent classic ski terrain with small hills and smooth transitions. The 30km course is unique and offers the challenge of skiing in more mountainous terrain. The first half of the 30km race climbs to Thompson Pass via Lower Inside Passage and Meadowlark trails, then descends Thompson Road before beginning the second half on the same trails as the 15km race. Timing for both races will end at 12 pm.
