Thank you to @gearwest for sponsoring the 2021 City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival. Gear West is a family-owned specialty sporting shop focused on cross-country skiing, biking and triathlons, alpine skiing and snowboarding, running and all the service and accessories that are a part of the sports we love.

Store owner Jan Guenther completed the Hybrid race version for this year's Classic/Skate Ski Loppet and said, "What we can all agree upon and enjoy is the fact that the Loppet course is SUPER fun to ski - it is rare we have enough snow to ski that full course (except for the lakes) for more than two days in a row. I LOVE the directional evergreens and no where is there such a mix of hills, woods, manmade loops, city skyline... It was a JOY to ski/race this morning - we got back before work started - and even if I forgot to turn on my watch for virtual timing - I will remember my ‘fake’ race, complete with bibs, in a tiny snowstorm and under headlamps, for years to come. Thank you Loppet."

The Hybrid course will be open through tonight (Feb 7) for all events. Please use caution if you plan to do the event in today’s cold.
