Hwy 263 Prince Albert National Park
Kilometres of black velvet, and a little bit of climbing…
A supported point-to-point rollerski north on the scenic route through Prince Albert National Park, finishing in Waskesiu, with snacks at the Waskesiu Trading Company (bakery).
Although it is called a loppet, it is not a race.
It is essentially a well supported, low-key, long distance training ski along one of the prettiest stretches of road in the entire province, during the peak of the fall foliage.
The ski can be done with either skate or classic roller skis.
There’ll be a few distance options
- 65km (approx. 4.5 – 6 hours)
- 50 km (approx. 3.5 – 4.5 hours)
- 30 km (approx. 2 – 3 hours)
- 16 km (approx. 1.25 – 1.5 hours)
Aid Stations at:
- South Park Boundary
- Spruce River Highlands
- Shady Lake parking lot at the Height of Land
Aid Stations will be stocked with water, energy bars, spare poles, and first aid kits
Looking for Volunteers to help support the loppet and shuttle participants back to their vehicles!! Please contact Andrew Brisbin if you’re able to help 306-281-3423 andybrisbin@hotmail.com
Make sure to bring cash with you to buy a drink and a pastry at the Trading Co. in Waskesiu once the ski is over.
Registration on zone4 is free, please bring $5 in cash with you on the day of the event as the "loppet fee", to help contribute to the aid stations and logistics.
