Start
The start for all courses except 5 is 800 m south of the parking lot. The route to it will be marked with tape and uses the local road through the residential area. To minimize the climb on the course, course 5 will start at the top of the mountain. The participants will need to ride the ski lift near the arena and transport has been arranged with the Ski Montcalm owners. The start is 270m south-east from the unloading point of the ski lift, with a tape-marked route showing the way.
Terrain
Attention: Some slopes are quite steep. After rain, they can be very slippery.
– There are areas with a lot of dead falls and uncleaned after the logging activities of the past. These are shown with green stripes or dense green.
– Water features (marshes, streams) may look a little different than mapped, depending on the amount of rainfall leading up to the event.
– Cliffs mapped as passable are 1-2 m high, with various degrees of slope and shape. Impassable cliffs (mapped with a thicker black line) are 2 – 10 m high. As some are high and potentially dangerous, please stay away from the edges. Good route choices should not go via dangerous cliffs.
– Some barely visible old logging tracks are shown with indistinct trails or narrow ride symbols. There are only a few trails that are made by walking and therefore are narrow.
– Special symbols used on the map (root stock) :
