To get to the start of the COC Long Distance race in Whistler you will ride up the Wizard Chair. The Long Distance warm-up map shows the area below the chairlift as you ride up to the start plus a small amount of the open slopes and tracks that you must walk down from the top of the Wizard Chair to the race start.
Trail-O is the fourth discipline of Orienteering, along with Foot-O, MTB-O and Ski-O. On the chair-lift to the start of the Long Distance Race you have the chance to try an unconventional and fun format of Trail-O.
On the warm-up map you'll find seven Trail-O control points: from the chair-lift you have to look down and say if at each of the control points there is a flag (answer A), or there is no flag (answer Z).. A typical Z answer is when the flag is on a nearby similar feature, or on the correct feature but control description would say northern side but the flag is e.g. on southern side of the feature.
You will enter the map area after some minutes from the start of the chair-lift: check the pond on your right-hand side to know when you are in.
Leave your answer-sheet/warm-up map filled with your name and answers at the box at the start of the Long Race for a chance to win a prize. Five winners will be picked up randomly from all competitors with all correct answers.
You'll need to take a pencil with you for answering.
