The Hog Loppet is a non-competitive 30k Ski Trek from the top of Mission Ridge Ski Area to Blewett Pass. We strongly recommend using the shuttle bus service provided. It is not an event for first time skiers because there is some steep terrain and ungroomed conditions. Please read the route descriptions below. ONLINE REGISTRATION closes Thursday at 12 p.m. You may register on Saturday at Mission Ridge.
