Sleeping Giant Loppet: Trail Conditions

Conditions in the park are great, with 15-20cm of base.  Grooming is ongoing, with the 2km, 20km and 30km trails open for both skate and classic skiing.

If you plan to ski at the Park prior to the Loppet keep in mind that the Visitors' Centre at Marie Louise Lake is open weekends only from 10:00am to 4:00pm.  This is a great place to start to practice for the 20km event.  During the week, skiers should access the trails from Rita Lake where an in-out course of any distance may be skied or the 30km loop including the Burma and Pickerel Lake trails can be completed.  The trails will be closed for a period of time prior to the Loppet for final grooming. Check the snow phone at 807-625-5075 for details.
