TRAIL CONDITIONS/SNOW UPDATE: Snowfall amounts were sparse in La Ronge early in the year. However, mid-winter snows have arrived and we are confident that snow conditions will allow for the hosting of a quality event. Most of the Saskaloppet trail network is in great shape, however due to limited snow accumulation, skiers in the longer events (20km, 35km, 55km and Kupesewin) can expect one or two short sections that require extra caution due to limited snow cover.

Checkpoints are located every four to nine kilometers and have radio contact, first aid, toilets, beverages, food, a campfire and friendly volunteers. Skiers on Saturday can expect checkpoints along the Saskaloppet Trail where snacks and drinks will be provided by our friendly volunteers. The checkpoints also have warm-up cabins for emergency use. Be sure to dress appropriately for winter conditions. Checkpoints are marked on our Course Maps.

The Don Allen Saskaloppet is a timed event and finish times are accessed through zone4. Finish times are all recorded on skiers’ finishing certificates.
