• Description: The swim course starts at shore of the Bear Creek’s large pond. You will circle the 0.25 mile triangular course counterclockwise, keeping the large orange buoys on your left. Use caution as you exit the water as grass may be slippery and follow orange cones and flags as you head to transition 75 yards away.
  
  The road bike course is a 16.2 mile loop on mostly rural roads around the resort. There will be traffic control personnel at all intersections. Use caution, the course is open to automobile traffic. Don’t be fooled by the distance. With some difficult steep climbs along the course, it’s doubtful you will be asking to ride another pedal stroke by the time you reach T2. Luckily, you will encounter fast descents where you can shave time and balance out the tough climbs.
  
  The run course is a 2.2 mile loop that will be contested on paved and gravel trails around the resort. Again, the distance is deceiving. After circling behind the lodge, you are faced with ½ mile uphill jaunt. Well, this is a ski resort in the winter. Once you reach the top of the climb, you’ve got a ¼ mile downhill sprint to the finish line.
