Cross Country Alberta - in partnership with Mountain Equipment Co-op - offered a robust slate of loppet events which provide the opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to participate in and enjoy cross country skiing.

CCA wishes to prompt wider provincial participation at scheduled regional loppet events, encourage camaraderie among participants through friendly competition, promote cross country skiing as an accessible sport for all ages and abilities, and capitalize on existing loppets and organizational work.

All 15 Loppet events were successfully held this year with the following winners receiving prizes donated by Mountain Equipment Co-op who we would like to thank for their generous support. Congratulations to our draw winners:

Mike Stern - Edmonton, AB

Nigel Jackman - Lamont, AB

Liv Omdal - Calgary, AB

Tomas Mark - Edson AB
