Sleeping Giant Loppet: Trail Conditions

Peter Crooks Returns to Groom Trails for the Sleeping Giant Loppet.

Although park staff are now responsible for trail grooming throughout the season at Sleeping Giant, retired Thunder Bay Nordic Trails manager Peter Crooks will spend a full week in the park doing the final grooming. Peter will put his 30 years of grooming experience at Big Thunder, Kamview Nordic Centre and at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics to work to prepare the trails to the highest standards that Loppet skiers have come to appreciate.

We guarantee the best trail conditions possible.

 Peter has groomed the entire 50km course for advanced skiing for Family Day Weekend and will do so again for the Feb. 22/23 weekend, the last opportunity prior to the Loppet on March 1st. The course will be closed on February. 28th while final grooming is completed. Please take advantage of free skiing at Kamview for all registered skiers.

The Visitors' Centre will be open from 8:30am to 4:00pm on Family Day this year (Monday, February 17, 2025). Come scout trail conditions prior to the Loppet and be sure to bring your skates to test out our new 300-metre-long skating oval!
