Esterhazy Loppet

The Esterhazy Loppet is going ahead this weekend with freshly groomed trails and good food on offer. We were wondering if we were going to get here with our lack of snow and the cold weather, but it looks like we’re going to pull a rabbit out of the hat. -10°C And light winds for the day will make for great skiing. Come join us at 10 AM on Saturday!
