Posted by Carol Shepherd on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 @ 01:25 PM
The Eastman NH community is holding its first Loppet for David's House on February 11, 2012. "'Lopp' is the Swedish word for 'race,' in this case a ski race" (Eastman NH News). This all-day event is a great opportunity to ski and snowshoe on groomed trails and promises fun for all ages. If you've already pre-registered to participate, here is the most recent update on the logistics for the event provided by David's House:
o Lack of snow on the Eastman cross country trails will mean the skiing portion will not take place at Eastman XC.
o Eastman does have enough snow in the woods to safely snowshoe so the snow shoe portion of the event will move forward. Eastman will provide free use of snowshoes.
o Individuals who signed up to ski have the option to snowshoe at Eastman or if they would like to ski, can ski free on Feb.11 at Trapp Family Lodge, Bretton Woods Nordic Center or The Jackson Ski Touring Center. This fantastic offer by these establishments will be honored only if participants have pre-registered online before midnight on Feb.9 (TONIGHT) and met the pledge minimums online. If participants have registered by paper we (Eastman) need to have the registration and pledges in hand by midnight on Thursday. Feb.9. Eastman will supply each establishment with a roster of participants who met the minimum so they can be checked in.
o Plenty of food and great entertainment from 11am-4pm, so we want to encourage anyone to come down, make a donation of and enjoy the food and music. Event organizers are encouraging a $10 donation at the door for adults and $5 for a child. Entertainment participants don’t have to ski or snowshoe.
