This year’s format features a one-loop 6km race or a two-loop 12km race. This is a great race for both the experienced skier and for those who want to dip their toes in the ski racing world. Join us for a day of fun!

Route Description

The Loopy Loppet features a selection of trails that historically hold snow very well late in the season: Base Loop, Tornado Alley, Survivor, and Nose Dive Alley.

There will be one aid station located at the Chalet which will offer bananas, oranges, water, and gatorade. The aid station will also double as a recovery table with chocolate milk. Stop by after your race for a drink or bite.
