January 18, 2026 - We’re thrilled to bring a loppet back to Stokely — a fun, family-friendly celebration of cross-country skiing and community at Stokely Creek Lodge on January 31. If you’re new to the term, a loppet is a welcoming ski event that’s all about participation, adventure, and enjoying the trails together. It’s less about racing and more about choosing a distance that suits you, skiing at your own pace, and soaking up the atmosphere – and good food.

Choose Your Perfect Distance
4 km – perfect for families, beginners, and relaxed skiers
11 km – a fun challenge with a scenic highlight
35 km – a classic longer-distance adventure for seasoned skiers

Event Details
Starting at 9:00 AM from the Day Skiers Cabin, participants will be greeted with muffins and coffee to fuel up before hitting the trails.

Skiers on the 11 km and 35 km routes will enjoy a special loop on Walker Lake, complete with hot chocolate and cookies along the way. Norm’s will serve as a warm-up station for longer routes.

When you’re done, head to the Main Lodge where lunch is served between 12:00–2:00 PM (included with registration). The celebration continues with entertainment and the bar open for drinks.
