“We have taken this precaution to do our part in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic,” said Bridget Daughney, executive director for the ski club, in an email.
As of March 16, Trails will continue to be groomed and the trail report and snow phone will continue to be updated daily.
Night skiing will also continue.
Parking and user fees are still in affect and can be paid through the outside fee box.
“We remind people that we are a non profit [organization] and we rely on fees to pay for grooming,” Daughney said.
You can rent nordic skis at Flowt Bikes & Skis in Revelstoke.
