Location – 3rd & Elk Ave.

The Ski Scramble will be a four-circuit time trial on nordic skis. The sprint course will start on Elk Avenue at 3rd Street.

Circuit 1 & 2 – Sprint up Elk Ave to 2nd Street, pit-stop at a costume chest, where competitors scramble to don 3 costume items, prior to sprinting back to 3rd Street.
Circuit 3 & 4 – At 3rd Street, competitors will pit-stop and be attached to an “awkward load” which they’ll tow half a block back up Elk. Once the load is released, they proceed to 2nd street, disrobe costume attire, do a final about-face and sprint back to the finish line at 3rd. street.

An optional galande jump will be present in proximity to 3rd Street, where competitors may choose to launch air to be awarded time subtractions, correlated to jumping distances.

*Participants may make multiple runs on the course in an attempt to better their time result.

Prizes:
1st Place Master – Male/ Female & 1st Place Junior – Male/Female (lowest Time score) – will each be awarded a cornucopia prize package.
