The Yellowknife Gold Loppet, sponsored by Gold Terra, will be held on Sunday April 3, 2022. Start time is flexible between 10:00 and 11:30am. Course closes at 3:00pm.

The Loppet is a fun, family event for skiers of all abilities. Starting from Vee Lake, the Loppet includes loops of 4 km, 15 km and 25 km on Vee, Jackson, Banting and Walsh Lakes.

Registration includes snacks and water at the checkpoints, Loppet swag, and a draw for gift certificates for Yellowknife businesses (in lieu of a pandemic chili lunch). Kids 5 and under ski for free. Dogs welcome after 11:30.

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