This year the event is Saturday, April 20, and will begin on Kellogg Peak, where competitors will kick the race off with a one-mile ski/snowboard run where they will transition into the mountain bike portion of the competition before capping the race off with four-mile run to the finish line.
Having a favorite mountain pastime is one way to make long Inland Northwest winters a little more bearable. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding and snowshoeing are mood-lifting.
