Nordic fest comes to Gore this weekend

The ski bowl nordic set up is the most surprising change around Gore since I moved away.

Haha. You’d think it would be more of a spacey word salad.

LOL --- it's all good

The new ski bowl nordic setup is a for-real World Cup level of difficulty set of trails.  Chews me up and spits me out every time I go there.

Do you have a .gpx of the course by any chance?  I'm curious to see what it looks like.  Thanks!

There is an older map in the link Pee Tex provided. There are more options for loops now.

I saw the map but it's be nice to see the profile and such like I did in this file:

That course is an ass kicker.  I don't know if they race on it though.

Heard today they are offering a free lift tic for people willing to help with the event. Not sure how to apply but they were looking for timers, course marshalls, etc.

I do not have a GPS file but will attempt to make one. I ski and ride at the Ski Bowl frequently and will attest as Peter said it  will chew you up and spit you out. It is a world cup venue.

Awesome, that would be much appreciated.

If you have a smart phone, all you need to is use the free Strava or similar and record your ski.  You can then extract the GPS file later on.

If you need assistance with the software, holler, it's pretty easy but like anything there's a few quirks.
