How does the Team Division work?
Both Elite and Citizens will ‘tag’ their partner at the Mid-Mtn Lodge, after completing their leg of the race. If you are not starting and are relieving your partner, you will need to make your way to Mid-Mountain as lifts will not be running. The easiest way to get here is to walk/skin through the Village heading toward Nob Hill, and proceed up Union Street towards Mt. Lincoln. We suggest you leave for Mid-Mountain directly after riders meeting.

What time are awards?
Awards will be held at the Sierra Vista Bar in the Judah Lodge roughly 30 minutes after last competitor arrives.

Racer Rules

1. Boots and bindings MUST be locked on all downhill (red flagged) portions of the course.
2. Poles MUST be placed flat on the ground (not attached to the hand, or held) in transition areas. Racers who hold their poles risk stabbing others in the transition area!
3. Broken skis and poles may be swapped at any point on the course. However, if a racer breaks a pole or ski, they cannot leave the pole or ski on the course (e.g. if a pole is broken, the broken pole must be carried until it can be traded for a non-broken pole).
4. Skis MUST be attached at two points to the backpack during the boot pack sections (packs often have a tail loop through with the tails are placed, and a hook attached above the binding- this is two connection points).
5. Skins MUST be fully tucked into the race suit/pack/jacket PRIOR to leaving the transition area (may still be partially visible). Racers who attempt to leave the transition area should be called back to the transition area to fully secure skins, or be penalized according to the penalty table.
6. All transitions must be carried out within the marked transition area only.
