What is a Boarder Cross?

A Boarder Cross is a special track that alternates high turns and jumps for unique races where four to six athletes compete at the same time. Whether kayaking, mountain biking, skiing or snowboarding, the principle of the Boarder Cross remains simple: four athletes start and only the first two qualify for the next round.
This year, this particular track will also be open to a competition for skiers, snowboarders and sled dogs.

Spectator areas are provided for visitors.
