Map: Thunder Mountain

Thunder Mountain Map Sample

This map features hillier terrain with larger contour features and small pockets of contour detail. The vegetation is very similar to Kelowna Nordic Core, but there are sections of very dense forest in otherwise highly runnable, white forest with no deadfall. Combined with the low density trail network, these topographical and vegetation features drive challenging route choice decisions perfect for the ultimate long distance orienteering race.
