The ski race will take place on the Great Northern and Independence Pass ski trails, while the bike race will take place on the Tempest Bike Trail, Khyber Pass Ski Trail, Gingerbread Bike Trail and finish with a dramatic on-snow run down the Sugar Slope Ski Trail.

Participants can enter as individuals or as a team, with one skier/boarder and one biker. Entry fees are $40 for an individual or $60 for a team and all entries include a complimentary post-race beverage at the Schuss bar after party. The categories will be expert men, novice men, women, and men, women and co-ed teams. All classes are open to skis or snowboards – racer’s choice.
