It's a GIANT Family & Friends Ski Reunion!

It's the 35th anniversary of the Loppet and nostalgia is in the air...

The Woodymakeit Award is back, but better than ever. Previously, the award was presented to the fastest skier to complete 50km on wood skis. In recognition of the 35th anniversary, every skier to complete the 50km event on wood skis will receive an award. Watch for an announcement about our Pine Tar demo to help you prepare.

Can you remember what skiers wore in 1978? In 2012 we will have an award for the best dressed "retro" skier. Search the attic for those knee socks, knickers and wool sweaters to show the kids what real cross-country skiers wore "back in the day".

Have you heard about the Grand Prize Draw? You don't have to be an elite skier to win the one-year lease of a Nissan Rogue, courtesy of Half-Way Motors Nissan! Any participant who is a resident of NWO is eligible. See awards section for details

We have some of the best ski conditions in the country. Invite your friends and family to Thunder Bay to join our GIANT friends and family ski reunion.
