Greetings!

We have one summer work party on the schedule: October 24 & 25.

A reminder to everyone, if you plan to “drop in” at the lodge, you MUST contact Matt Ugland (253-579-4287 skibacs1966@gmail.com) first for availability, then, prior to arriving at the lodge, payment is to be made online! Our policy is you pay before you stay!
