Kaniksu Land Trust: 'This is your sled hill'
Just before the last band hit the Sledfest stage, Kaniksu Land Trust officials stopped the music. Then, KLT staff and board members got on the stage, circled by the community, and announced they'd done it. They'd saved the Sled Hill. The community had raised the $2.1 million needed to buy and begin infrastructure work at the site. "We have saved the Sled Hill together," Katie Cox, KLT executive director, said. "This is your Sled Hill."
Schweitzer donates chairlift chair to boost Sled Hill campaign
In a remarkable show of community support, Schweitzer has donated 50 chairlift chairs to Kaniksu Land Trust to bolster its ongoing “Save the Sled Hill” campaign. The chairs, previously part of the beloved Musical Chairs chairlift at Schweitzer (also known as Chair 2), are being replaced by the new Creekside Express high-speed quad. KLT officials said the creative gift will make a significant impact on the fundraising effort to purchase and establish the historic Pine Street Sled Hill property for the community.
