The
Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club can trace its roots back to 1891. Today the club
provides quality track skiing to its members and paying guests.
Under the provisions of a User Agreement with the British
Columbia Forest Service, the club maintains a system of ski trails on Mount Macpherson, with a trailhead situated seven kilometres south of Revelstoke on
Highway 23.
Approximately 24 kilometres of trails are groomed for both skating and classic
technique with a Bombardier BR275. The User Agreement requires the
trails to be groomed at least once a week (usually prior to the weekend) or
after a significant snowfall. The User Agreement authorizes the club to collect
fees for skiing.
The club is a registered non-profit organization and
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, first aid, special events, and a
Ski League Program for children.
The Revelstoke area is famous for its prodigious snowfall
and the trail system’s easterly aspect helps keep snow conditions excellent.
Grooming usually starts in late November with a final grooming in late March.
