Latest NewsTuesday Jan 21 2020 Lake Louise to Banff Loppet Results 6 PM Saturday Jan 18 Tomorrow’s loppet has your name written all over it! At 4:30pm it was -10C at the Chateau on Lake Louise! Forecast is an overnight low of -17C in LL, morning high of -11C and a Banff high of -2C. Course info: See you in the morning! Wednesday Jan 15 The sun and moon are aligning with warmer temps for the end of the week! Current forecasts suggest a Lake Louise low Saturday night of -17C and a Sunday morning high of -12C. The downhill start will be nippy - dress accordingly. Sunday’s high in Banff is -5C. Track setters will resume grooming tomorrow. Check this website periodically for trail updates. Our final update will be posted by 6 pm Saturday. Start your taper. Or start your training. Thursday Jan 9 Volunteers have been busy preparing the loppet trail since last w/e. On leg 1 snow has been moved under the TCH overpasses outside Lake Louise and the snow ramp up to BVP at Morant’s Curve has been completed. On leg 4, the annual AT ascent of the Hillsdale Split was done to pack the snow before our sled was used. On Sunday, leg 2 was groomed and set from Baker Creek to Castle Lookout. It’s beautiful! Other parts of the course will be repacked and track set in the coming days. Check back here for updates. With the approaching cold snap, we are monitoring various weather forecasts carefully. Our cut-off temp is -22C throughout the event. By the middle of next week when the forecasts are more accurate, the organizers will provide a temperature related update (as planned, delayed start, postponement of one week). The Pineapple Express is expected by the middle of next week when the temperatures are forecasted to warm up again. Yeah! Skiers are invited to use the shower facilities at the Sally Borden Building at Banff Centre. Free towel and entrance will be given by showing your race bib. Note however, that the reception scheduled for 4pm is at the Banff Park Lodge (Lynx St., downtown Banff) and NOT at the Kinnear Centre adjacent to the SBB, as has been the case in the past.
