Thank you to our New Groomer Fund contributors
The addition of the Pisten Bully 100 grooming machine is a huge achievement for the Nordic Center and will bring many days of stellar grooming for our guests. Along with the support of over 90 donors on North State Giving Tuesday, the Nordic Center also received significant support from two regional non-profit organizations.
Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance and Mt. Shasta Nordic Center would like to thank The Nancy Driscoll Foundation Fund of The Community Foundation of the North State and The Ford Family Foundation for the grant awards to support the purchase of the Pisten Bully. These two organizations combined contributed $50,000 to the New Groomer Fund in the fall of 2023 and early days of 2024. We’re so grateful for their support and the tremendous impacts their work have in our communities.
The new machine, driven by our dedicated grooming team, helps us ensure that consistent, high-quality grooming makes the skiing experience stellar for everyone. Mt. Shasta Nordic Center hosts school groups, senior outings, high school competitions, and community events. We’re super excited to take this step forward in the growth of the Nordic Center and we hope you enjoy the trails.

Keep your fingers crossed - The Nordic Center could open next week!
Snow is falling on the Nordic Center throughout the weekend!
Our grooming crew was up at the Nordic Center Tuesday afternoon in preparation for bringing the groomers up. The new Pisten Bully will get its tracks in the snow for the first time and Ms. Kitty will be on hand for specific grooming tasks. Dang, are they pumped to take the new Bully for a spin!
It's exciting to see snow falling and we're heartened by the forecast. Keep your fingers crossed for more snow this week. If the Nordic Center gets 16-20 inches of snow in this storm cycle, the grooming team hopes to have some trails opened by the middle of next week. We'll stay in touch to let you know when we've got an opening date.
In the meantime, keep doing your snow dance!

Our New Groomer Is Here!
Dang! That’s one pretty Bully! Wow!
Our grooming crew is excited and hoping for snow so they can drive this machine. The new Pisten Bully 100 groomer came earlier this month - with some assembly required. Sean and Dan put on the tracks, blade and tiller and now she’s ready to roll!
With more power and improved fuel efficiency, the Bully will deliver a better grooming experience while also cutting down diesel consumption and the number of hours to get the trails in great condition.
Pray for snow everyone!

Big news!! The Nordic Center has a new double vault toilet!!
We've got a new crapper and we couldn't be happier! This is the first project element we're implementing under the California State Parks Regional Parks Program grant. Lot's more coming, particularly next summer when the new lodge comes in. For now, we're super satisfied with this accomplishment.
Huge thanks for the support from U.S. Forest Service - Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
'22-'23 SEASON WRAP UP & PHOTOS
Wow! What a winter we had this year. The consistent snowfall (with multiple storms that gave us 2+ feet overnight) and blizzard conditions gave us so many memories to look back on. The teamwork of the Nordic Center staff, with a special shoutout to the grooming team, as well as the positivity of our regulars and visitors alike secured the Winter of ‘22-’23 as one for the books!
Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite photos from this season. You can’t beat the stunning scenery of our dense forest covered in snow–plus a few fun shots of Nordic staff hard at work (but having fun through it all!).
We’ll see you next season!
