Trail Day this Sunday, October 18!

Rianna will be present to certify 2-4 chainsaw users. Chainsaw certification is not for training; it is for experienced users who have their own saw and PPE, to allow them to use their saws during trail days. She will also be bringing the log splitter.

Volunteers will meet your Trail Leader at the Selkirk Lodge at 9 am.

27722 N Mt Spokane Park Dr, Mead, WA 99201

Bring gloves, lunch, water, and weather-appropriate clothes. Dress in layers!

No special experience needed, just bring a willingness to work and help out.

Volunteers can choose a free SNSA swag item as a thank you!

❄️ What a night! Thank you to everyone who came out for September Snow Day at Brick West!

From foam snow and snowball fights to face painting, Nordic gear, crafts, adaptive and skijor demos, it was such a fun way to celebrate 50 years of Nordic trails on Mt. Spokane.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening possible: Our volunteers, partners, vendors, donors, and especially all of you who came out to play!

We loved seeing so many new and familiar faces. Thanks for helping us kick off the next 50 years of Nordic skiing in Spokane!

Check out some of our favorite photos from the evening! 📸

Thank you to our resident photographer and member of the ski team, Evan Lambiotte, and to our hard-working Event Organizer, Trev Finchamp, for capturing the fun!

Thank you to the 12 hardworking volunteers who joined us for today’s trail day! Tim Ray was our fearless leader, he had all the equipment ready to go when folks got there. We cleared Bear Grass, Valley View, and more.

It’s not too late to join tomorrow’s (Sunday’s) trail day which starts at 9am at the Selkirk Lodge!

You’ll have the option of becoming chainsaw certified (we previously reported that Saturday was the chainsaw cert opportunity but we were mistaken- sorry!)
