- Follow green-, red-, and yellow-flagged wands as described & shown below.
- Transition zones between modes are indicated by change in flag color, and also by wands with blue-on-white symbols (i.e., skinning, skiing, booting/hiking on foot w/ skis affixed to pack).
- Layout -- including whether course has a boot pack -- subject to change based on conditions during flagging the prior afternoon and early on race morning.
- Full Competitive Course = ~4,500' vertical, 3 laps = skin up looker's right > just shy of summit > ski under Rocket quad, followed by 3 laps = skin up CM Park > Magnitude > boot up Darkstar glade > ski Satellite Summit > Meteor.
- Shorter Recreational Course skips bootpack (i.e., transitions at top of Magnitude to ski Meteor, skipping Satellite Summit), and is also only 2 laps on each side of the ski area..
