Our traditional 17 km loppet route is used as a single loop for younger (14-17) and older athletes (70 and older) and is also an enjoyable course for recreational skiers. Competitive skiers aged 18 to 69 complete two loops of the 17 km course for their 34 km race.
Head up Metford Rd, across Bilbo’s Bog and go LEFT around Ermine Frolic. Turn left up Reino’s Run, left on Cottonwood Cutoff, and left at the south hub to visit the aid station. Keep LEFT as there is a short distance of two-way travel until you are on Plantation Place which will bring you back onto Larch Hills Rd. Turn RIGHT down Baby Moonwalk, turn LEFT onto Willow Switch, RIGHT onto East Dales, and LEFT to get back to the two way traffic on Larch Hills Rd. Visit the Aid Station. From there it is LEFT onto Frodo’s Bog, RIGHT down Stig’s Loop, and a SHARP RIGHT taking you back up Larch Hills Rd. Turn LEFT onto Gullan’s Gully, LEFT down Hot Shot, and LEFT on Ermine Frolic (watching at the bottom for other skiers approaching on your right). Continue down Ermine Frolic and then RIGHT down Larch Hills Rd to approach the lap/start/finish stadium. Keep LEFT to avoid the lap lane and go through the Dark Trail to the finish line.
