Thank you to all participants and to the amazing team of volunteers.
Black Jack's Annual Loppet has been renamed in honour of Al Fisher.
Al was an integral part of Black Jack Ski Club and was especially memorable for his work with Black Jack's Skier Development Program. We are grateful for Al's support and are honoured to rename our Loppet as the Black Jack Al Fisher Loppet.
Skiers of all ages and abilities are welcome to join us on March 9th.
