Introduction
Welcome to the Virtual 2021 Menihek Nordic 46th Great Labrador Loppet. The term Loppet is derived from Norwegian culture: "A large and long ski event, a journey, challenging and fun". A New Brunswick cross-country newsletter had the following definition of LOPPET: "a gathering of over-enthusiastic skiers who wish they could race but can't, so they begin in a bunch at the starting line and go as fast as they want trying to beat no one but themselves so they can have a big feed when they're finished, while they sit around and compare ski waxes and other life changing information."
