Lake Louise Loppet
Feb 25, 2020
There’s excitement in the air in anticipation of the upcoming fun this weekend with two prominent races on the agenda. The Cookie Race on Saturday followed by the Lake Louise Loppet on Sunday. The weather forecasts are looking great with minus-single-digit highs.

Changes to the Lake Louise Loppet
I think I’ll take…this one!
The Lake Louise Loppet deadline is also Feb 26 at 11:59 pm. Take note, there is no registration on the morning of the race as in past years. There is also a course change. 20K racers will ski the Telemark loop twice and not go on Fairview at all.
