CW HOG CW HOG was formed in 1981 to provide recreational opportunities for people of all abilities. cities.

The Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group (CW HOG) was founded in 1981 at Idaho State University (ISU) in Pocatello, Idaho. CW HOG is an outdoor-oriented organization which provides support to individuals with disabilities (including, but not limited to: developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis and other spinal cord injuries), allowing them to partic

ipate in recreational activities that would otherwise be inaccessible. CW HOG emphasizes serving individuals with disabilities in a “cooperative” manner: that is, in a mixed setting of people with and without disabilities. CW HOG uses outdoor activities and recreation to promote individual self-esteem, confidence building, and socialization skills in all its participants. Individuals taking part in physical fitness classes, social outings, alpine skiing, and other outdoor adventure activities nurture various personal, physical and mental abilities. CW HOG allows persons with disabilities to become involved in ‘mainstream’ activities with other residents of their own community. Since its inception, the program has been replicated at least 6 times in Canadian and U.S. The organization also received national attention for its “All Abilities Trek to Mount Everest Base Camp, 1998,” the first climb by persons with disabilities to the base camp of the world’s tallest mountain. On June 1st of 2006 CW HOG embarked on a 422 mile expedition of the Salmon River for its 25th anniversary.

It takes a Cooperative effort to keep our ski program sliding and we are so proud that Pebble Creek Ski Area believes in what we do! Come out and celebrate all things skiing this weekend at our favorite hill.

The Montucky Pond Skim is this Saturday March 30th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. The Pond Skim is a great spectator event with lots of spills and chills. To join in the fun, just come into the office and sign a waiver to get a wristband. There is no fee to enter or watch, but you must have a wristband to skim.
Sponsored by Montucky Cold Snacks. You can win a pair of Montucky skis by entering a raffle benefitting CW HOG.

Sage advice.

With the forecasted warming temperatures, many trails in City Creek will likely be muddy! Please make wise choices and avoid using muddy trails. Do not go off trail to walk around mud.

Additionally, we know there are many trees down and will be working in the coming weeks to address those issues.

Today’s skier was Lexi and she wants to ski in the Paralympics someday. We are going to do our best to foster that!
