It all starts with the mountain bike – two 5k laps on 30-foot wide, relatively flat, hard-packed and groomed Nordic trails at the base of the resort. Next up is a 5k snowshoe trek featuring 500-feet of climbing and descending through aspen and pine trees in pristine deep powder. The third leg is a 5k run on groomed access trails that weave through a breathtaking route in the forest. The final stage is ski mountaineering (or randonnee) where racers will climb 1,300 feet to the first of several transition areas, take their skins off and ski down through giant slalom gates to the next checkpoint. There are four climbs/checkpoints totaling 2,200 feet of vertical gain, and the finish line is at the base of city hill viewable from the main plaza at Snowbasin. The men’s winner is expecting to take about two hours to complete the event.
Fees: $50, plus $10 one-day USA Triathlon license (if non-member). Includes Friday night dinner.
