Loppet Weather Equation

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAA letter from the boss (a math major)…

Weather . . . There is no denying it – we wish we had more snow . . . Still, things are not all bad. Ice depths are good. The trails are almost completely covered with white stuff – they are just not skiable at this point. But with just two inches of snow we believe that conditions would be good. Plans are in place to start making snow for the streets of Uptown later this week. And the Hap Lutter snowmaking loop is open and ready for business. In other words, conditions are better than last year – and with a few inches of snow the whole course would be ready to go . . .

Start of the 2012 Loppet Loppet Math

The next price hike is set for Tuesday, January 15. Register by Tuesday at midnight to ensure the lower mid-winter price.

Admittedly conditions are not perfect right now, but we’ve done a few math equations and like the look of the results. . .

  • Two inches of snow = Complete Loppet
  • Loppet Foundation = Resourceful organization
  • Registration fee = ticket to fun whatever the weather . . . and a great cause – helping make Minneapolis a better place to live and focusing on bringing outdoor adventures to North Minneapolis kids Minnesota
  • Late-January = cold and snowy place
  • Link to register at lower price before Tuesday at midnight = here
