Hello Nordic Folk!
There is still lots of snow on our trails and members and guests continue to enjoy "Goldilocks" season at our club. What, you ask, is Goldilocks season? It's that time of year when you find one trail to be a little too cold, another to be a little too warm, and then you find a magnificent trail that is just right!
We hope that you are finding just the right time to enjoy our trails, and please read on for the news you'll need to ski into April:

A Letter from Doug Clovechok, MLA
Our young racers at the RNSC have performed exceptionally well this year, and this has commanded much attention in Nordic circles provincially and nationwide. We want to thank Doug Clovechok for his recent letter to our club president, Gary Graf, and we are proud to share this letter with our members:
Dear Gary,
I’d like to extend my congratulations to the Revelstoke Nordic Club on their impressive results at the 2018 Ski Nationals in Thunder Bay.
It must feel intensely rewarding for your club to reap the rewards of such outstanding performances at such a high level of competition. Your athletes have represented us well and they all deserve congratulations for their dedication to the sport.
There were so many Revelstoke athletes that posted great results, but it would be remiss not to mention the Junior Girls. To dominate the top 8 in the Junior Girl’s Pursuit (1st, 2nd, 6th and 8th) is to really put Revelstoke on the map as a powerhouse in this sport, as well as the 3rd,4th,6th and 10th results in the Junior Girls’ pursuit.
There are so many volunteers, coaches, parents and athletes that need to come together to get results like this. Please know that your efforts are recognized, appreciated and celebrated. It would be appreciated if you could pass on my congratulations to your entire club.
All the best,
Doug Clovechok
MLA
Columbia River – Revelstoke

Thanks Again to our Members!
Our club is not a club without you.
We have had another great season and our membership numbers hit 686, very close to our record season last year. Our guest visits were also in line with last year's totals.
As our season winds down, the RNSC wants to thank our membership for all of the support this season and we hope that you continue to enjoy the sport in the month (and years) ahead.
Cheers!
