Annual SkiFest Challenge Loppet
Our annual SKIFEST CHALLENGE is set for Sunday February 22 at 1pm. We will have Loppet-style classic and skate ski events of various distances for adults and kids.
Challenge yourself to ski our beautiful Summerstown trails as part of our ski Loppet. A Loppet is a Scandinavian term for a cross-country skiing event. It is a chance to come out and enjoy skiing in a group no matter your skill level. The events will be unofficially timed if you are interested in knowing your speed, but the main goal is to come out as a community and enjoy skiing. There are a variety of race distances and techniques to satisfy from beginner to advanced.
SUNDAY, FEB. 22 at 1pm.: Adult events followed by kids’ events
FORMAT: Mass start in the old parking lot– classic and skate technique
