2026 McCall Re-Mastered
Now at Bear Basin!
The McCall Nordic and Biathlon Ski Club is pleased to announce that our marquee event, The Remastered Ski Marathon, will happen in 2026 despite the challenging snow conditions. Thanks to the gracious cooperation of our brothers and sisters at the Payette Lakes Ski Club (Little Ski Hill & Bear Basin Nordic) we are moving the race from its traditional venue in Ponderosa State Park to a fantastic racecourse which will consist of a 10km course lap at Bear Basin. (10K, 20K, 30K)
If you have been racing the Remastered for many years and are tired of worrying about making it up the climb on Fox Run, than this is a great opportunity to experience some new terrain and scenery. The new course will make use of some of the best trails at Bear Basin, including Polar Express and all the trails down in Lyle’s Loop (see maps and elevations). We have high confidence that this race will happen even if we don’t get additional snow between now and race day (1/24/26). So, no more hesitating on the sign-up; click on the registration button below, select your distance and take advantage of the remaining days to get in shape.
