Lungs Course
For those with a more sadistic streak you will start at Koroheke and skin, hike your way up through the ski field to the top of Hamilton Peak. From here you will ski down Alan’s to the bottom of the BR access tow. Skins back on and up the ridge to the top of the ridge tow. From here you will make your way back to the top of Hamilton Peak. Down to the old poma shed and then a short hike back up to the top of tow three and down middle main to the lunch hut for a finish.
Lifts Course
The “lifts” course will start at Koroheke and from there competitors will race to the first tow (just like a powder day eh?) and then haul their way up to the top of the third tow where they will skate over towards Hamilton Peak. From there a quick skin or boot up Hamilton Peak will see them plummeting down through Alan’s basin towards the access tow at BR. Up the BR tows to the the top of ridge tow and long the ridge back to the top of Hamilton Peak. From there people will need to ski down and across past the top of tow three to the middle basin chutes. Down middle main to the lunch hut and a well earned rest.
