The Tetrahedron Outdoor Club invites you to the Inaugural Sunshine Coast Loppet Saturday, March 5 at Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Area.
The word loppet means challenge, adventure and fun on skis. A loppet is a mass start event designed to provide a good workout while building camaraderie. It is a Scandinavian tradition of celebrating winter and pristine wilderness.
“We are looking forward to welcoming many new skiers to share the diverse terrain and amazing vistas found on Dakota Ridge,” said co-organizer Urs Pfaeffli. “This event wouldn’t be possible without a number of avid volunteers and the awesome community spirit of the Sunshine Coast.”
This year’s event includes a 30km long course and a 10km short course. This is a family friendly event, so there will also be 2.5km, 1km, and 100m fun ski events that are perfect for the kids. More experienced young skiers are welcome to join the longer races as they are able.
