Location: Northstar Resort, California, USA
Competitors will experience a beautiful but steep area of the high Sierra overlooking Lake Tahoe at
elevations ranging from 1,900 to 2,665 meters (~6,200 to 8,740 feet). The vegetation is largely open pine
forest, with many meadows, rock features, and man-made influences. Undergrowth and deadfall will be
a factor so leg protection (gaiters) is suggested. There is a very extensive road and trail network due to logging activity and many
recreational users in the area. The hash house will be located in the middle of the Northstar ski resort
containing a complex set of condominium buildings and linear clearings for ski runs.
