Our goal is to:
- Encourage Ski Touring in National Parks in Québec
- Honour Legacy of Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith-Johannsen
- Align with the future Canadian Ski Hall of Fame & Museum at Mont-Tremblant
FINISH at the Lac Monroe Service Centre, visit the Discovery Centre, relax, see the historical exhibit display on Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith-Johannsen sponsored by Canadian Ski Hall of Fame & Museum and the Laurentian Ski Museum, and talk and listen to skiers who had known or met Jackrabbit!
The event
Thank you for joining us in this unique and historical Park in the middle of the Laurentians at Mont-Tremblant. The trails here are representative of Québec classic style cross-country skiing and winter adventure. This one-day event covers wilderness territory that Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith-Johannsen bushwhacked and skied many times in this region.
The Classique Jackrabbit Classic in Parc national du Mont-Tremblant on Sunday, January 27th is designed as a one-day ski tour for: experienced skiers planning to ski other long distance events later in the season; intermediate skiers to set challenges for themselves in ski touring (40 and 20 km), and for youth to experience the adventure and scenery in ski touring (20 km). The Classique Jackrabbit Classic as well as the Classique Kenauk Nature on Saturday, January 19th lead up to the two-day Canadian Ski Marathon and Gatineau Loppet in February. The START to the trail loops, the main checkpoint, and the FINISH will be in the same general area of the Lac Monroe Service Centre.
We look forward to see you at the START and on the TRAIL at Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, Sunday, January 27th, 2019.
