2021 SVEINUNGSGUAARD WAPITI LOPPET

• Celebrating 43 years of XC skiing in Grande Prairie
• Saturday, March 13th
• COURSE CONDITION UPDATE AT 6:45pm Wed 10th: Wondering whether to classic or skate for the loppet? This morning new classic track was set on the 3 km Forest Trail and the Full Moon Trail. With the cold weather tonight Crawford will try and set track on North Blue and Burgess tomorrow. We hope to use those tracks for the loppet, but will not include Boot Loop or Camelback. The temperatures on Friday are predicted to be warm, so there will be sunny sections that will melt. We will determine the final course for skate and classic Friday morning, using the best available sections. On race day, you can drop down to a shorter distance - just report the change to an official at the end so they can place you in the right category.

​Making Tracks: Wapiti Winter Virtual Challenge

This winter you can still ski, snowshoe and fat bike. What is the Making Tracks Challenge? It is a way to encourage you to get you out and be active and is also a fundraiser for Wapiti Nordic Ski Club.

• We want you to figure out how long you are “making tracks” and tally up your kilometers; either on skis, snowshoes or fat bikes.
• Register on Zone 4 and you will be sent a copy of the tracking pages.
• Starts December 1st 2020 and runs until March 31st 2021 but you can join the challenge at anytime and start recording your "tracks" (kms).
• Prizes will be awarded to those who have completed the longest distance in each category, and a winner of total kilometers in all 3 categories.
• You will receive one of the distinctive Wapiti Nordic medals with your distance total.
• We suggest that you have a membership - if you are really competitive you don’t want to keep buying day passes!
• Please keep track of just your tracks at Wapiti Nordic. Sorry but other activities don't count in this fun challenge.
• T-shirts will be available to order in January.
• You can register up until January 31st - but why wait??
• There are columns on the spreadsheet to set some goals and keep track of what you actually do.
• Adults: $30, Under 18: $15
