Hello

Anyone know if the XC course is marked?
I'll be up this weekend checkin it out.
First time ever riding the area.

last year we rode it a week before - print the map off and you'll get a pretty good idea of the course from there. it's a big ride for sure but definitely some amazing trails

Yes, it's generally marked with yellow arrows already but I'll second Skifreak in that taking a print of the course map with you would still be a wise idea. Also note that as of last Saturday the high point of the course still involved a ~1/2 hour snow hike-a-bike according to some other riders on our team who did the entire route. Hopefully this past week saw the last of that snow go bye-bye, but I'm just sayin'...

Thanks for the info.
We had a map and the course was marked excellent, except one arrow seemed to be missing.
Gave us an extra few km to the ride.
The snow section is still there but it only took 5- 10 min. to get through.
Other than that the trails are great.
This course is one tough freakin ride!!
All I can say is "YOU DIRTY RAT!!!!!!" :D

I got an email from the organizers and supposedly the ENTIRE course is now rideable.
