Nordic News: February 10th, 2017

February 10th, 2017
Greetings Nordic Folk!
It’s a big weekend at our club as we are hosting an OK Cup for racers of all ages from around our region.  If you are a racer or the parent of a racer, you have probably already read the race notice.  If you are not racing, please be sure to read the details in this letter because things will busy at the RNSC!
Okanagan Cup XC Race Starts Tomorrow! 

There are two days of races (Feb 11-12th), and while this promises to be lots of fun for everyone, there will be heavy traffic on the trails and in the parking lot.  There will be parking lot attendants there to help, and please be aware that only vehicles with 4 or more passengers will be allowed to use the parking lot.

Take the Free Shuttle!  We ask members and racers to please make use of the free shuttle available from the Big Eddy Fuel Station (Hwy 23 S/ TCH).  It will leave the fuel station every 30 minutes from 7:30am to 2:00pm.  (Returning from the lodge at 30 minute intervals starting at 7:45am.)

The Power of Volunteers!
The RNSC runs on volunteer power.  In advance of the big race this weekend, we want to thank the race organizers and the volunteers who will line the race course for their contributions and preparations.  We also want to thank the ski league volunteers and our volunteer coaches who give their time on weeknights and weekends to make Nordic skiing fun (and fast!) for our club members.

Here is the link to the RNSC Zone 4 Registration Page.

We also encourage you and your friends to join our club before December 1st.

Currently, there is a competition between clubs, and if we get the most member registrations (as a percentage of our member base last year) before December 1st, the RNSC could win equipment and other prizes for our club.
One prize is a fleet of kids ski gear –either 10 combi packages or 20 classic packages– whichever the winning club chooses!  This would be great for our youth programs.   Check out the contest details and the other great prizes on the Cross-Country BC website.
