Contestants are responsible for their own well-being while waiting for team members at transitions. The Quad volunteers will do their best to ensure your safety but it is not their job to cater to you at this time.

We allow campfires in our transitions for volunteers and competitors to stay warm. Remember if you are not racing or competing standing around can get very cold so if the smoke bothers you, we are sorry but having a fire is essential for safety.

The course is closed to all non-residents of the area from 8 AM-5 PM. If you drive your vehicle up the course you will have to wait until course officials deem it safe to release downhill traffic. Please be patient.

No pets on the course.
