In 1998, despite the terrible snow conditions across the province, we had almost two hundred visitors. Most of these were students from northern schools. Skiers may go anywhere from 2km to 20km. The Saskatchewan Masters Championships will be held at the same time as the loppet. This is a twenty kilometer classic race with a twist .
Racers are amazed at the number of younger skiers and the quality of the trails.
At the same time the kids were amazed and encouraged by the skill and speed of the racers. The North-West Cup is a race designed to encourage all students to develop skiing abilities. It is followed by lunch, a Fun Relay and other fun and educational activities. You may want to stop at a two or three other trails in the area. There are trails in Meadow Lake, La Ronge, Prince Albert National Park and Prince Albert.
