Cypress Ski-O Why Just Run

Organizers: Magnus Johansson (Event Director), Andrea Balakova (Event Director)

Map: Hollyburn Ridge (Ski-O)

Ski-orienteering makes a return to Cypress Mountain! Come up and navigate the trails at Hollyburn for a last taste of winter this season.

Three different courses are offered. Please sign up below before midnight Thursday, April 7, so we know how many maps to print!

Registration starts at 9:30 am. Start between 10 and 10:30 am. Courses closing at 1 pm.

Start/Finish will be from the upper warming hut. There is a steep hill to ski up to get to this hut, which can take 10 to 15 minutes to climb up. Please arrive in good time!

The map for ski-orienteering shows the trails in green, as shown in the map sample below. Also make sure that you have a plan for how to carry the map with you. In real races, skiers use a special map holder (see picture below), but you can easily create a simple map bag that hangs around your head on a string, for example.
