High Point

A good introduction to the Biathlon area, starting with a warm-up on Iron Sights before tackling Biathlon Loop East. Easily extended with more laps on the East Loop, Viewpoint, or some of the black trails that crisscross inside the East Loop.

All trails are groomed for both classic and skate. This route can be skied in either direction, with the more popular direction show. Be mindful of keeping to the right if headed CCW around the East Loop - downhill traffic will be moving fast.
