Staging from Vee Lake, the Loppet will include loops of 4 km, 15 km and 25 km. Registration includes snacks and water at the aid stations and apres-ski lunch at the Chalet. Kids 5 and under ski for free!

Please take a moment to read our loppet rules and notices:

  2. Sign-in and bib pick up will be at Overlander Sports between 10 am and 5 pm on Saturday April 7.

  6. For safety reasons, you must stop at all check points, including the Start and Finish, to make sure your name and bib number are marked off the safety list. If check point volunteers do not mark your bib number off the list, we may send search and rescue out looking for you!
