Something for Everyone

The Cascade Crest Ski Race & Tour has 4 possible distances for participants. The 25k race is an adventure of epic proportions that winds through the Mt Bachelor trail system, out to the Todd Lake Road, and back up into Dutchman Flat Meadow, with picturesque views along the way. The 12.5k event shares a portion of the 25k loop, and the 5k course takes a short loop through the beautiful Dutchman Flat Meadow.

• Start and finish are in the Bill and Jinny Martin Stadium 
• If an ambitious racer wants to complete an unofficial 50k (with their 25k time officially timed) to keep the full 50k tradition alive, we will accept self-reported 50k times (2 laps of the 25k. Must report your 50k time by 3 pm that day). 
• Snacks, Gatorade, and water will be provided in the Stadium and at one aid station (Rich’s Range to Todd Lake Junction) along the course.

• ALSO awarded will be the top male, female, and non-binary winner (based on Season Points accumulated during the Mt Bachelor Cup Nordic Series) of the Mt Bachelor Cup.  Hard-working winners will receive a Mt Bachelor Pint glass from North Drinkware!
