Event overview

We are set for ski-orienteering this Sunday, February 19th, at Teacup Lake.

Why not try a little orienteering in the snow? Teacup Lake is always a great place to ski. And even if you ski there regularly ski orienteering gives you a different way of experiencing Teacup Lake.

Event Details

There will be 3 courses available:

Short:  short in length (about 4km), easy ski trails (good for beginning skiers)

Medium:  a bit longer in length (roughly 6km), a few controls will be off the main groomed trails on short, skied-in trails made just for the event

Long:  long in length (approx 9km). more difficult skiing; several controls will be off the main trails on, short skied-in trails

Ski rentals
If you don't own skis, no worries. There are several local stores that offer Nordic ski rentals: REI (only available at their downtown Portland store, 1405 NW Johnson St.); Mountain Shop (1510 NE 37th Ave., Portland); Next Adventure (corner of SE Stark and Grand). There are also places in Sandy along the main drag (Otto's Cross Country Ski Shop, 38716 Pioneer Blvd.)  It's always best to get your skis early in case there's a race!

All participants must check out through the course finish gate before leaving the park, even if the team does not finish the course or returns after the course closes.

The event is open to the public.
