About the UltraTrax Holiday Valley
The course winds through the wooded slopes and hollows of a ski area, following forest single-track and quiet ridgelines well above the valley floor. The terrain mixes gentle climbing with stretches of mellow ridge walking through dense trees, so the landscape shifts as you go. Several distance options are available, and participants can opt to carry a weighted vest or ruck to add difficulty.
Parking, the start, and the finish all share the same lodge at the ski area, which keeps the morning simple. Bibs can be mailed ahead or picked up on the morning of the event. Food and refreshments are available for purchase after you finish.
