SANDPOINT – Kaniksu Land Trust is raising funds to purchase the historic community skiing and sledding hill on West Pine Street.
The property was recently bought by friends of KLT in order to secure it for the trust. KLT’s fundraising goal is $2.1 million, which includes the cost of purchase and making the property suitable for public access. The project has already received tremendous support from the community, and the current balance to raise stands at $750,000. KLT has until November 2023 to purchase the land.
This Saturday, Kaniksu Land Trust is hosting “Sneak Peek at the Sled Hill,” a coffee, tea, and pastry pairing fundraiser. The tasting trail event is a self-guided tour of five key features of what KLT hopes will be the future community sledding hill and home to some of KLT’s educational programs. Each of the five stations will include tastings of one of Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters’ reserve blends or a tea variety paired with a locally crafted pastry from Rustique Bakery.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own cup or mug to reduce waste. A limited edition commemorative Save the Sled Hill mug will be available on site for purchase and use at the tasting stations for $10 each.
Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online at kaniksu.org/events/sneak-peek-at-the-sled-hill. Ticket sales are limited. This event is sponsored by Alpine Shop, Idagon, Sandpoint Area Veterinary and Emergency Services, Schweitzer Mountain, and Winter Ridge Natural Foods Market.
