Sledders are sprayed by snow as they fly down the Pine Street Sled Hill on Tuesday, Jan. 16. The sled hill has 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.
