Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club
Contributor
Mark your calendars for the weekend of Feb. 18 and 19 as the most exciting kind of ski racing is coming to Revelstoke Nordic ski racing!
The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club will host a mass start and sprint race as part of the Teck BC Cup race weekend. Skiers of all ages are encouraged to participate. If racing isn’t your thing, we have lots of volunteer opportunities. Contact Natalie MacLeod at simpsonnatalie1@gmail.com.
The RNSC is expecting almost 500 competitors and their support crew of parents, fans, coaches, and waxers. The parking lot will be busy, so we encourage folks to carpool and use the free shuttle organized for the weekend.
The free shuttle has two pickup locations, one outside the Best Western, and the other at Ed’s Gas in the Big Eddy. Times and pick up locations for the shuttle bus will be posted on www.revelstokenordic.org.
Access to the parking lot for non-racer parking is fully available as space permits, and there is also access for racer drop-offs.
For safety reasons, there can be absolutely no parking on Highway 1 or Clough Road.
A full concession (cash only) including soup, chili, snacks and hot drinks will be available in the lodge on Saturday while quantities last.
Concession proceeds are a fundraiser for youth programs and athletes attending the National Championships in Thunder Bay.
Race Events:
- Saturday, Feb. 18: 9 a.m. – Individual Sprint Free Technique
- Sunday, Feb. 19: 9 a.m. – Mass Start Classic Technique
