Race format

Yeah, that map looks crazy! Here's how its going to work.

Series with Final Pursuit:

Each leg will be run to completion with a small break between legs to change skis.

The first leg will be a self seeded mass start freestyle from Round-a-bout down Meadow to the Lower Meadow for a big tear drop turn around and back up Meadow to finish on Round-a-bout

The second leg will start on a chevron mass start with three lanes. Seed order will be finish order from the first leg. This leg will be a classic leg going up Upper UW and finishing back at Round-a-bout.

The third leg will start on the chevron with the seeds based on the second lap finish order. This freestyle leg will go up Phil's to Moose and back down to finish on Round-a-bout with Gobi's included, pending snow conditions.

The fourth leg will be another classic leg, starting on the chevron with seeds from the third leg. This leg will go down Lower UW and climb back to Round-a-bout via the Rollercoaster trail.

The final leg will be freestyle, down Ridge onto Alder and onto Chyt's Cut to finish in the Lower Meadow. The final leg will be a pursuit start based on cumulative time from the first four legs. The first person to the finish line will be our overall winner. Race organizers reserve the right to apply handicaps to seed times in the pursuit start.

WHAT, classic legs?

That's right, we are gonna klister skis. The WHAT team will be on hand to classic wax your skis for you! Wax provided will be a universal easy wax. This will be a good day to wax up your waxless skis or if you want a more detailed wax job you can use our benches to do it yourself! We don't want wax to be a barrier to entry so we will offer this service. Donations for better wax will be accepted.

We are not going to do shuttle services like other Happy Jack races, you will need to bring skis and whatever else you want up under your own power. Please just ski up to the Round-a-bout, do not walk on ski trails! Water and sunscreen will be necessary for this day. A way to change boots, if you want to change boots, would also be a good idea.
