What is a Score-O?

Unlike on Saturday where you had to visit the controls in a preset order, there is no such thing in a Score-O:

  • You take the controls in the order of your choice with the goal of maximizing your point tally within the time limit.
  • Ranking is based on points and time, which means that for a same point tally, the fastest time wins.
  • Each control is worth 10 points
  • There is a twist though, a stiff point demerit of 20 points is applied for every *started* minute of overtime, so you better come back to the finish on time ! Fun!

Schedule:

  • Register on-line before Thursday 9:00pm please, so we can insure you will get a map.
  • Event opens and Registration starts at 9:30am
  • Score-O participants can start in any order between 10:00 am to 11:30 am
  • Course closure: 12:30 pm
  • Refreshment & re-hydration

Course Specifics:

1:4000 Map scale.

Tread lightly

A few large bare rock features with thick moss found on this map should be avoided as per the Resort Municipality of Whistler's guidelines.

Potential Hazards

  • Some cliffs
  • If rainy, as usual, logs and wood structures used on mountain bike trails will be especially slippery. These must be avoided as they are also high above ground and meeting a rider there would be unwelcome
  • Mountain bikers (!): especially on the smaller trails (keep your head up)
  • Some car traffic on south end of map
  • Some black bears, sometimes are around. They usually run, the question is whether they decide to run away from you (most of the time) or towards you (on occasion).
  • Potential for wasps at this time of the year in some of the humid spots. Keep you eyes open.
  • Mosquitoes will probably have hatched by then. In this case they can be in vast numbers and tend to hunt in large groups.

Parking:

There is very few or no parking at all in Whistler beside designated spots:

  • Main parking in Myrtle Community School is shared with another event so it could be full when you arrive.
  • Overflow is directed to Balsam Way and Easy Street just W of the school where parking is allowed on one side. Absolutely NO parking on Lorimer Rd.
  • There is always Whislter's main parking lot ($) about 20 minute walk to event site.
