Kelli 's thoughts:

We arrived early and decided to tackle one of the first few heats out. Registration was easy online and there was no problem picking up our race bib, with little to no lineups. Each racer got a bib, pins, and tattoo and parking was available right on site. The ski hill is located in a small town called Mont St. Bruno and it is a beautiful location with small town charm and great vista views. Heats were released often so we only had about 8-9 minutes to wait until the MC released us up the mountainside. Foam funnels sprayed the racers as they giggled with glee and dared fellow racers to stand under the foam for a count of 10. Spectators could follow the racers along the base of the course and get some great photos of the foamy fun. The course looped its way around and up the side of the mountain and gently wove it's way in and out of the wooded areas. Music was played throughout the mountain and there were even air filled obstacles at the top, a nice surprise with generators brought up the mountain to power the giant slides. A few obstacles needed a bit more of an incline to get the racers moving down them but each one had 1-2 dedicated volunteers that kept racers motivated while they trudged back up the mountainside. It was well laid out and had great variety. A very family friendly event. As you approached the giant slide near the end you could hear screams of glee as racers dashed down the over 100' slide with a terrifying thrill. Medics were available on site and also drove the sidelines on ATVs to ensure everyone's safety. At the finish line, there were free photo opportunities and each racer received their finisher medal and towel. Chapmans was on site and gave out free popsicles. Change areas and hose off stations were well managed with no line-ups, same with the port-o-potties that were located at the base and 1/2 way point along with the water stations. When we left it had gotten much busier and the line up for race kit pick up/registration extended down the full driveway of the mountainside. It is recommended to get there early to avoid lengthy wait times. We had no delays on the obstacles, but later on it in the day, this wait time increased. Overall, an excellent event, great for the kids and kids-at-heart. Thanks to the wonderful volunteers and fab medics!
