Alpine 1
First off is the Alpine leg, which starts with a mad dash uphill to the starting line from the top of the Pine Marten lift. The run is considered intermediate in difficulty. All participants must wear a helmet and negotiate the gates on their way to the exchange point by West Village Lodge.
Nordic 2
Second is the cross-country or Nordic leg, in which skiers can choose either classic or free/skate technique. The 8-kilometer loop treats participants to the exhilarating descents and gradual climbs of the groomed Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center trails. The loop winds around the parking lot and finishes at the bike exchange point in front of the Nordic Lodge.
