CSM 2018 FAQs (Archived)LINKS: Home Page | FAQs | Maps | CP Diagrams | Downloads | Official CSM website Are the maps, checkpoint diagrams, and assignments final?No. For a variety of reasons - not the least of which is weather - they can all change before the event. Are meals and sleeping accommodations provided? Where? NEW as of 2018-02-07!!!Yes. Some arrangements are different from prior years. Lunch is provided at the checkpoint.
Does this site have driving directions posted?Yes. Go to the Downloads page. Is there a radio operator's guide available?Yes. Go to the Downloads page. Are there any split checkpoints - like CP4?No. CP4 has been split in the past, but for 2018 it will be a single CP. So what the heck is CP4a?CP4a is a water point half way between CP4 and CP5. It's a long section, and CSM treats CP4a as a quasi-checkpoint that might require additional supplies or food. On some diagrams or maps it is marked as WP4 (water point 4). Although CP4a will have a radio, there will be NO dedicated radio operator. CP staff will operate the radio as required. How many checkpoints are numbered "6"?This is slightly confusing.
Look at the Section 6 and 5 Maps for details. How will the radio equipment be installed?We are awaiting confirmation of some details, but in general:
What happens if the radio equipment has technical problems?The equipment supplier will have a technician available to fix things during the event. The tech will be mobile following the main flow of skiers. Where will net control be located?Net control will be located at https://goo.gl/maps/agvKbSnQr3T2 in the offices of the Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours, which is close to Montebello. Net control equipment will be set up Friday afternoon, February 9th. Does net control have internet access?Yes. High-speed fibre. What checkpoints do each CP team cover?Because the event runs over 2 days, each CP team covers 2 CPs, one per day. It is likely, but not certain, that radio operators will work with the same CP teams on both days. The CP team assignments may be altered due to last minute staffing changes.
