GOOD SPIRIT – Good Spirit Cross Country Ski Club’s Annual Lamplighter Loppet was held Feb. 11 under a star lit sky and mild temperatures.
This was the second year that the Loppet was held at the warm up shelter at Good Spirit. Hotdogs and hot chocolate was served for all participants.
The bonfire was lit and the shelter was filled to capacity.
The cross country ski trails were in top notch condition thanks to the recent snowfall and the work of the groomers from the park and the volunteers of the Good Spirit Ski Club.Skiers stayed for the fireworks display at seven and then slowly skied back to their cars.
Many skiers put on more than the trip out to the shelter, with the nearly 20 km of trails out at Good Spirit skiers could ski to their fill.
The trails this winter have seen a record breaking amount of skied in visits to the shelter. The club appreciates the people that sign our guest book and leave comments about the shelter and the beauty of the trail system.
“It’s good to see skiers coming to the park from all over the country and enjoying all that our area has to offer,” said Darryl Stevenson President of the GSSC, adding, "we are proud of the shelter we built and take pride in maintaining our trails. We invite everyone to come out and explore our trails and stop in at the shelter for a warm up or snack. We would love to meet you.”
