Crud 2 Mud Downhill

Sunday May 29, 2011

Few places can rival what Whistler has in store for mountain bikers this season. And after its successful return after a multi-year hiatus, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is excited to be bringing back the Crud 2 Mud Downhill on May 29, 2011.

In teams or individually, Crud to Mud competitors ski or snowboard from the top of Whistler Mountain to the bottom of the snow line, where their bikes and equipment lay waiting. Once they've struggled out of their boots and are clipped into their bike pedals, participants race through the Whistler Mountain Bike Park on a yet to be determined trail.

Registration

The event is recommended for strong intermediate to expert skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers.

Registration prior to Saturday May 28th at 2:00pm is MANDATORY through Whistler Blackcomb Guest Reservations or 1.800.766.0449.

Mandatory Racer Mtg: Due to the nature of the event and the ever-changing snow conditions there will be a mandatory meeting for all participants @ the Garibaldi Lift Company on Saturday, May 28 at 6pm. At that time the event format will be discussed and the courses will be announced. Courses: Will be announced closer to the event date.

Gear: Full face helmets are mandatory for the mountain bike portion of the race and protective padding is strongly recommended. Due to the nature of the snow component race skis/boards are not recommended.

The race will be followed by après-bike, awards and more at the Garibaldi Lift Company.
