Trail-Brushing Work Party

Date: Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 22nd & 23rd

This weekend we will be doing our annual brushing of the Macpherson Nordic ski trail network.  In addition to brushing, we may also have some other trail work to do, such as pruning of tree limbs around the light posts on Mickey’s Loop, moving some rocks off the trails, repairing trail signs, etc.

No special skills are required!

Brushing extends our season at both ends, and makes the grooming easier too. Brush saws are easy and safe to operate.

Meet at Nordic Day Lodge at 9:00am on Saturday Oct. 22nd and/or Sunday Oct. 23rd

What to bring:  warm clothes, work boots, gloves, water.

What’s provided:  brush saws, fuel and safety equipment, fresh baked goodies and coffee!

Please RSVP to Jeff Ferguson at  [email protected] or 250-814-9304 so we know how many people to expect.

Thank you,

Revelstoke Nordic Executive

Yoga For Nordic Skiers

Balu Yoga is offering Nordic-specific yoga classes this fall!
Classes Start on Monday, September 12, 2016

The practice of yoga can help prevent injury by teaching you techniques that help you become more embodied giving you a greater understanding of how to move your body in a way that supports your overall well being. Skiing is a sport that builds lots of lower body strength and the practice of yoga helps with building upper body strength while also stretching out your lower body to aid in increased mobility. Also helps build equilibrium in the body, we tend to have areas in our body that compensates for weaker areas, and with the practice of yoga you can learn to become more balanced in your body which benefits not only skiing, but also the emotional imbalances we are meet with at different times of our lives and different times of the year.

Dates: Classes are held on Monday nights, September 12th -November 28th, 2016 (Note: no class on Halloween Monday)

Time: 7:30pm-8:45pm

Cost: $121

For more information, contact the studio at [email protected] or 250-837-3975 or book online at baluyoga.com/workshops.

 

Last day of grooming

The last day of Club operations will be Saturday, April 2nd.  

That means that after Saturday, the lodge and ticket office will be closed and the trails will not be groomed, and no first aid supplies out on the trails.  But feel free to ski as long as your little heart desires.

It’s been a great season, thanks for sharing it with us!

Happy trails!

 

Annual General Meeting

I know, it sounds boring, but a) it won’t be and b) the Club needs you to come!  Why?  I’m glad you asked.

The Club needs a critical mass of members at the AGM to be eligible for funding to pay our Head Coach (the much-loved Matt Smider).

We value your input and opinions on the direction the Club is going.

Lastly, the Club is governed by a volunteer board of directors, which could be YOU someday!  So come, be involved and engaged with the Club you love dearly.

The meeting will be on April 14th, at 7pm in the Day Lodge.  Goodies and hot drinks, of course, will be provided.
