Join us for a long adventure ski up to the Bald Mountain Lookout.  The trip is around 18 miles and takes most people around 4-6 hours. Start time (from trailhead): 8:30–9:30am.

Registration is now open for: The Bald Mountain Loppet 2025

In Scandinavia, a Loppet is a long-distance, non-competitive group ski. Here on the Palouse, we are planning our own Loppet – from the Palouse Divide trailhead to the Bald Mountain Lookout Tower. This 18-mile loppet will be a fun and challenging outing for fit, experienced skiers. It is not a race but a tour to be completed at participants’ own pace. Participation is limited to 40 skiers. Our amazing team of groomers plan on grooming the entire route (wish us luck!), which entails a 9-mile, 1,715-foot climb to the top of Bald Mountain and back. Be prepared for changing and colder weather. Participation in the Loppet is free, but we will gladly accept donations to help us continue to ensure reliable Nordic skiing on the Palouse. The club will have hot drinks, soups, and a fire at the lookout tower for participants. Of course, we will keep an eye on snow levels and will adjust as necessary.
