START TIME

RACING - This is a tour race so there is no calling of “track” – please go around slower skiers.

FIRST AID/DRINK STATIONS –drink stations at Charlotte Pass, Porcupine and Perisher
SAFETY - Sustain your fluid intake and wear adequate clothing. The course will be patrolled by skidoo and swept by skiers. Please note that the course does not follow the regular groomed trails and snow conditions can range from ice, deep snow or slush. Natural hazards include rocks, bare patches and vegetation. Other skiers also use these trails. Skiers must ensure that they ski in control at all times to minimise risk of collisions and injury. In sunny weather use sunscreen, sunglasses and carry sufficient water.
If the weather deteriorates ski together and help each other as much as possible. If you come across another entrant in difficulty or distress, assist and/or report to the nearest official on skidoo or at a first aid/drink station, giving a bib number, problem outline and location.
Bibs/transponders will be accounted for at the Finish and a missing bib/transponder may initiate a search at your expense.
