On Wednesday night members of the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club were out in full force at the Mount MacPherson Nordic Centre for one of four headlamp heroes events they hold over the course of the ski season.

The intergenerational event saw competitors don costumes and compete in two 500 metre team relays.

Head coach Matt Smider said it’s all about having fun and getting outside.
