Officially we are open through Easter weekend. The reality remains to be seen, with a high probability of an additional weekend.  Whatever day that is, we need a full crew to help with the demobilization of the operation. Nordic will also close the same day as alpine, so the lift will not be operated for such.  Tower pads, rope lines, signs, toboggans, gear and a general muck-out of the hut all needs to be dealt with.  So if you are short on shifts, anxious to get some more skiing in, or are just not ready to face that garden project at home, come on out and play!

We are hosting the PNW Region Banquet on April 26, and our own banquet is Mother’s Day weekend.

Rick Knowles has selflessly produced some useful maps of the nordic trail system. These are available for your download and use, and we are all encouraged to increase our knowledge of the Nordic trails in the event that we need to respond to an incident out there. A larger map, for printing on 11x17” paper, is here. A smaller scale, useful as a pocket map, may be found here. Thanks Rick!
