Proposed ski lodge and related facilities
To read our proposal,
Snow's gone, it's bike season, see you on the trails!
Under the provisions of a User Agreement with the BC Ministry of Forests and Range, our club maintains a system of ski trails on Mount Macpherson. The trailhead is 7 km south of Revelstoke on Highway 23, at an elevation of about 640 metres.. The Revelstoke area is famous for its prodigious snowfall and the trail system’s easterly aspect helps keep snow conditions excellent. Approximately 22 km of trails are groomed for both skating and classic technique with a Bombardier BR275. Grooming usually starts in late November with a final grooming in late March.The User Agreement requires the trails to be groomed at least once a week (usually prior to the weekend or after a significant snowfall) and it authorizes the club to collect fees for trail use.
The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club can trace its roots back to 1891. Today the club is a registered non-profit organization. Almost all of the services provided by the club are accomplished by the thousands of volunteer hours of its members. These services include trail maintenance, trail grooming, machine servicing, special events, and a Ski League Program for children.
