Ski Rentals at the Lodge

The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club recently purchased, in partnership with the school board, 50 pairs of skis, boots and poles, for both classic and skate, from Sovereign Lakes.  This equipment is now available for rent at the Lodge, from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm all week.  The equipment is being shared with the schools, so please call in advance to make sure we can accommodate you with the proper size and equipment.

Lodge phone: (250)814-4264

The rates for rentals are as follows:

  • $20.00/day for skis, boots and poles.
  • $15.00/day for skis and poles only.
  • $10.00/day for boots only.
  • $5.00/day for poles only.

Payment:  We accept Visa, MasterCard, debit or cash for payment.  A credit card number will be required as a deposit.

Waiver:  Renters must pay for the equipment at the ticket office and sign a waiver form.

This is a great opportunity to try out X-country skiing or to try a different technique.  We hope to see you soon!

Week of November 24th

And we’re SKIING! Where possible, older “rock” skis are best for early season conditions (although early season conditions may not last that long if it keeps snowing like this!). Also, even with the lit trails, headlamps are still necessary.

Check the picture of the large group at the Regional Camp this past weekend. Lots of fun!

Here’s our schedule this week:

Tuesday: 4 – 6pm for TA; 5 – 7pm for JD
Skate
Wednesday: 5 – 7pm for JD
Classic
Thursday: 4 – 6 pm for TA; 5 – 7pm for JD

Snow is here! We’re open for skiing

November 24, 2014

It’s snowing here at Mount Macpherson and we’re open for the season.  The Mickey Olson Loop has been packed and Main Loop has been packed and track-set.  We still have early season conditions so please be careful out there!  The lights will be on until 9:30 pm and the Day Lodge will be open from 9:00 am until 9:00 pm.  Trail fees are in effect.  We hope to see you out on the trails.

Snow is finally here!

Teck BC Cup

Check back here for info about our Teck BC Cup, held in Revelstoke at the Mt Macpherson trail network on the weekend of the 24th and 25th of January, 2015.

This is the 2nd race in the 2014/2015 BC cup series.

This is a two day race for athletes of all ages. The Saturday is a classic interval start race and the Sunday a mass start freestyle event.

 

To ensure a successful race we will need many volunteers for timing, first aid, course marshaling, concession and parking. Volunteer needs will be between 7:00am and 2:00pm depending on the job. No experience needed! If you would like to volunteer to help make this race a success please contact Penny at 250-837-3497 or [email protected].
