Methow Valley Nordic and Methow Trails are excited to present the return of the Nordic Ultratune Downduro – a QR code ski race modeled after an enduro mountain bike race where skiers first climb to the start and then race downhill. Participants can complete the course as many times as they’d like over the course of the event – to try to improve their personal best, one-up a friend, or simply to enjoy another great day on the trails!
Technique
Free Technique – you get to choose however you’d like to complete the course!
Timing
Timing will be recorded by the Webscorer app and each event will cost $1 to cover our cost of using the platform (the timing app is free to download).
QR codes will be posted on map signs at the start/finish intersections – if you don’t see it on the front, be sure to check the back!
Be sure to read the Timing Instructions before you head to the trailhead! (adapted from the old virtual Ski to the Sun)
[Please note: it greatly eases our job in managing this race if you use the Webscorer app to time and upload your results automatically. If you are unable to use the app, you may submit your time to ed@mvnsef.org, but note that it may take additional time to input your result. You must pay the registration fee to be included in the results.]
Official Results
Will be posted here.
