IIRC, the Vertfest course has two mandatory bootpack sections: one beneath Armstrong Express on the face directly above the creek and another up the Fan beneath Chair Two. There might even be a third somewhere else up top or up Lower Nash for the race division, but I don't recall...
Totally right. I think I was recalling the rules that state "no booting EXCEPT in the designated boot pack". Good catch.

Its pretty simple. Helmet, beacon, shovel and probe and your touring gear. Follow the race course markings and that's all you need. Why complicate it further?
And no post holing in the skin track or dogs, this ain't no source lk trail.
Agreed for the most part, except one point. Is strapping skis to your pack during the bootpacks a requirement? This has been a source of contention multiple years and all would be solved by a little communication to both the participants and course volunteers.

Fun race made challenging by the ice and mank. My skins would glop up when trying to pass anyone on lap 1.
