Please note we have new changes coming through and we will update everyone on what amazing things we will have to offer for this race. Keep checking back for updates and changes. 

Weather:  Weather or not we have Snow, we will have this race! 2023 was looking weird but we had a great day and great snow. But for those who wonder, if we have no snow, we change the XC ski to a run and it will be a run/bike/run. We will cancel the race if the conditions become unsafe and the police advise people to stay off the roads. We may also cancel if treetop's location chooses. If the race is canceled, we will do our best to change the time or date of the race to accommodate, a full refund will not be given (timer wants to get paid and we understand, they are a business), but we will refund as much as we can based on the cost of the race and our sponsor donations. You may also choose to roll over part of the registration fee to the next year. 

Volunteers: Have family coming with you? Do you like a discount? Let me know you have someone that can help with the day of the race, and you will get some money back from your registration after they volunteer (must be 18 or older to volunteer and must be known two weeks before the event) email me and we will chat [email protected]
