There was a day not-so-long-ago that every member in the club would all sign up for volunteer shifts in Bev’s Bungalow to collect trail fees to support the club.
We still have a small army of volunteers to help keep our club functioning, but we’ve also grown enough that we are able to maintain a small staff of great people to keep the Nordic spirit alive in Revelstoke.
We are proud to introduce you to the RNSC staff for 2023/24:

Duane began with the RNSC as a volunteer groomer and avid skier. Always happy to lend a hand, he came on board as our Operations Manager in 2015. Duane takes care of the operations side of the RNSC including our trail network, the lodge, our super-cool groomer, and our machinery. If you are enjoying a great ski – chances are its because of Duane and his great volunteer team. |

Paula has been a mainstay of our office since the fall of 2017. Her friendly positive attitude is appreciated by returning members and new visitors alike, as is the welcoming lodge atmosphere she creates. Paula runs the office and rental program during the week, as well as coordinating the rest of the office staff to keep our lodge running smoothly. She also is helping organize our Skill Development Program for our Tuesday and Saturday youth programs, along with our school and adult programs. She has been Nordic skiing since the age of 17, and she always enjoys being outdoors and the soulful nature of the sport. |
