Revelstoke Nordic atom skiers (7 and under) were on fire on the trails today.  First place went to Cameron Norrie, Sophie Van Oort, Natalia Morrone,  and Fiona Woodman. Skiing to second place were Lillian Vickers, Livia McMechan, and Isobel Wilson, and a strong third place was earned by Lia Morrow.

Trail conditions, organization, and timing were all outstanding at the race today thanks to a crew of over 50 volunteers.   Revelstoke Nordic skiers are off to Prince George for the first BC Cup race of the season where they will test their mettle against skiers from the rest of the province. Both race series are generously sponsored by Teck.
