Escapade (in a day) Update 2008
Seems this is being renamed the Salomon X-Wing Discovery rather than the Escapade and is to only have 10 check points rather than the original 14 – and as no trip to the top of La Masse or the 4th Valley is required it’s fairly easy for a decent intermediate skier to complete in a day.
We’re not sure why the changes have happened yet, but we’ll still compete on the original course (photos and/or GPS data required for verification of the 4 remaining check points).
In any case the record time of 7 hours 34 mins is set to be smashed this week. Nick from Nick Ski has a plan…. Full report and pics to follow by the end of the week. Good luck all and Go Hard!!!

Congratulations to Nick ans the rest of the record cruncher team. The “hike” alternative will for sure suggest a new temptation for us to get next year.
Toffa: Try to convince Nick and the other to post some details of the great deed !
