Revelstoke Nordic is hosting an annual lantern ski, (modified due to Covid) on Saturday evening and we expect a large number of visitors to the club during the evening, as such, please do not leave valuables in the stadium area or wax tents. 
  2. Families visiting are welcome to ski but would require day passes to be purchased. Racers pass included in race fee.
