The Big McInnes Challenge 2026

Welcome to the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club

Mig McInnes 2026 Registration!


Celebrate the legacy of Al McInnes by skiing ALL the trails in one day. It's a festival on skis! Bring your friends, and have some fun! It’s not a race, but it is a challenge - how far are you willing to commit to skiing in one day!

  • Keep a GPS track (Strava, Trail Forks etc.) of your route to show the judges where you went. You can go in any direction you want.
  • Successful participant get their  photo up in the Lodge ( up for  year)
  • Bonfire and snacks at the Lodge
  • Hot Honey water and bananas at the Ole Sandberg Hut
  • The Mass Start is at 9 am - the start is fun so we hope you can make it! a circle that all skiers must stand in without their skis until the start gun goes off. They may leave in any direction.
  • Late starts are welcome but it adds to the challenge, as all skiers must complete their chosen distance before 3 pm.
  • Selkirk Saunas will be on site all day! Sauna break mid-ski, anyone? Or hop in after you’ve finished your ski for some well-earned relaxation and recovery!


Route Options:


The Big Mac: Ski ALL the trails at Mount Macpherson once! This includes all connector trails - you may do trails more than once, but the route is up to you! See if you can find the most efficient way through! (~30km)

The Double Mac: If you’re a real Masochist, do the Big Mac Twice! We have so far had only one skier complete this, so the challenge is hot! (~60km)

The Slider: The outside perimeter of the Mt. Macpherson trails! Ski it either direction - your choice! (~15km)

The Doggie Bag: Take on the challenge with your dog! Ski all the dog trails (~6km)

Smider’s Web: Ski the competition trails! There are lots of ups and downs, so see if you can take the route with the smallest elevation (~10km)


Selkirk Saunas will also be on site! Don't forget to reserve and pre-pay for your space if you want to partake! Reserve at this Link
