Starting in 1968, the Top of the World Loppet (or Top of the World Ski Races/Championships, as it was known then) has invited elite and recreational skiers alike to challenge themselves on the beautiful Mackenzie Delta trails under the springtime sun.

2018 marked the 50th anniversary of the Top of the World Loppet and a great milestone in the Inuvik Ski Club’s 50+ year history.

April 6-8th, 2018, races took place at the Inuvik Ski Club trails with almost 100 competitors, and a huge youth contingency.

We are immensely proud of the work put into this Loppet, and of the joy and excitement experienced by the ski community over the weekend.
