There, skiers will descend Mach One before going up Sawmill and Peak 8 Road to a boot-pack hike up 4 O\u2019Clock to Vista Haus. At Vista Haus, skiers will descend Tiger to the finish line at the Peak 8 SuperConnect midstation.<\/p>\n

The short course will ascend from the start line at Mountain Thunder Lodge up Gondola Ski Back to Lower 4 O\u2019Clock, Crosscut and 4 O\u2019Clock to the finish at Vista Haus.<\/p>\n
