The course start will send riders 0.5 miles up Village Rd. where they will then turn left onto the Winter Park - Granby Trail, a single track passing through sagebrush fields with beautiful views of the Granby Ranch Ski Resort. At 1.5 miles, riders will enter a section of single track through an aspen forest before joining Nature’s Way, the start of the racecourse loop.
After a very short and punchy singletrack climb on Nature’s Way, riders will make a left-hand turn onto a double-track fire road that traverses the ski resort. The double-track fire road will then transition to the smooth and flowy Fraser Valley Trail. The 3-mile loop on the Fraser Valley Trail meanders through sagebrush providing amazing views of the Fraser River and Indian Peak Wilderness. On the return to the venue, there will be a couple of road crossings on the Fraser Valley Trail prior to joining Ike’s Trail. The final right-hand turn on the course will intersect the downhill bike park where riders will roll a couple of wooden bridges as they descend tight switchbacks to the base and finish area.
