A huge thank you to all 181 registered skiers—our best turnout in recent years! From the feedback we’ve received, it sounds like everyone had a fantastic day. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email us at loppet@vikingskiclub.ca . We hope to see you again next year and encourage you to spread the word about our event.

A special shout-out goes to our Trail crew—Sam Kirkpatrick, Pierre DesCombes, and Jeff Eamon. They faced enormous challenges with the heavy snowfall and multiple equipment issues, but their long hours, hard work, and ingenuity made an exceptional course.

Thank you to the Loppet committee members—Marie-France Allard, Anne Eamon, Doug Bowes-Lyon, John Maase, Derek Wills, and Brent McCosker—who started planning the event last October to ensure every detail was in place.

Finally, a BIG thank you to the Viking Gods, our 67 Viking volunteers. Without you, this event wouldn't be possible.
