Local youths make their way up the Pine Street Sled Hill on Tuesday, Jan. 16. The sled hill reopened after the Kaniksu Land Trust purchased the 48-acre site last year after a successful community fundraising campaign.

Pine Street Sled Hill ready to create memories, magic

Kaniksu Land Trust celebrates with grand opening

After getting the all-clear, they charged up the hill as fast as they could. Gathered for an informal opening of the Pine Street Sled Hill, area youth kept peeking toward the hill as a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked its return after years of being closed. The opening was made possible by a fundraising campaign that began in March 2022, when KLT supporters financed the purchase of the Weiss family homestead for the land trust and leased it back to KLT for $1 for 18 months.
