About the Tough Mountain Challenge
The course runs through a ski resort, moving between ski trails and wooded mountain terrain. The climb is real, and the obstacles are built into the natural features of the mountain rather than dropped into a flat field. Expect mud, uneven footing, and enough vertical to make your legs remember the day.
