The Lake Louise to Banff Loppet and Relay is one week away. When I skied it solo in the old days the distance was 71K.
After losing access to the Backswamp, it was shortened to 50K.
This year, due to lack of snow, it is 36K and ends at Castle Junction. https://www.loppet.ca/
The Backswamp was one of the best features of the loppet. I'm glad I made this video while it was still possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o-BS8S4VPU
