As part of the RBC Sport Day in Canada the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club is hosting a snowshoe tour November 15th beginning at Noon (weather dependent).
If snow is not covering the trails we will lead a hike on the snowshoe loop. The Seven Bridges loop is 4.5 kilometres and travels through woods and cut blocks along streams and the Nordic ski trails.
Please bring snowshoes and water. Hiking poles may be helpful.
A few pairs of snowshoes will be available.
The RNSC lodge will be open.
The potluck will be held on Sunday, March 29th from 5-8pm at the community centre. The potluck is for all of the general membership.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday, April 13th at 7pm at the day lodge. This is an important opportunity to speak with board members and learn about the direction the club is heading. We will also be electing next years board members.
Please join us!
****We are still looking for volunteers to help out with Parking and Course Marshalling, particularly on the Sunday. This is a BIG race for our little club. We are anticipating approximately 400 racers and require approximately 80 volunteers each day. If you would like to volunteer to help make this race a success please contact Penny at [email protected]. ****
L’École des Glaciers and the Francophone Cultural Group invites you to the Sugar Shack: the perfect family event! Music, children’s activities, walk in the woods, and more!
This will not affect regular skiing for members. The bottom half of the lodge is available for washrooms, changing, etc.
