Lake Louise to Banff Loppet
The 17th Lake Louise to Banff Loppet and Relay is scheduled for January 28th, 2006.

The first documentation of this event had participants skiing from Lake Louise to Banff through the Bow Valley on February 8th, 1929. With equipment and trail conditions decidedly inferior to those available today, the fastest skier in the 1929 event was Paul Gotaas of the Camrose Ski Club with a time of 5h 15m 17s. Rekindled in 1979, the modern version of this annual cross-country loppet was contested with the entry of two teams and sponsored by Baker Creek Chalets, Castle Mountain Village and Wilson Mountain Sports. In 1990, the event was skied by individuals as well as teams of up to six members. Now this popular local event has grown to 20 teams and 40 individuals. In 1995 the Banff Ski Runners joined the organizers as a major sponsor. Participants in the past events have both enjoyed and endured the challenges of the terrain and the weather over the course of this 65km route.
