As with all our summer events, this is open to Non-members! 

Come out and enjoy a nice afternoon in Pinicon Ridge Park at the Horseshoe Falls Lodge in Central City.  Just a short drive up Highway 13 from Marion.   Our fall kickoff is when the busy small summer starts to slow and we begin to think about our winter season ski club activities.   Come and catch up with all your ski club friends and see what’s on this year’s winter calendar.  Or if you’re new to the club, come join us and see what we are all about. The park is just outside of Central City off Highway 13.   Watch for the EISC signs that will direct you to the Horseshoe Falls Lodge. 

 

Bring a side to share. We will have brat burgers grilled on site along with buns and condiments, beer, pop and wine. It’s the first meeting of the 2018- 2019 ski season so come and check out all our winter trips and activities. No charge for guests. Membership dues are $30 for singles and $60 for households. The lodge will be open at 3pm, with brat burgers grilled about 5pm. Donations for the brats will be accepted.

 

It’s supposed to be a secret – but a bunch of folks are camping at Pinicon Ridge before the Kickoff.  The sites are first come first serve so come on down for some camping fun and maybe a little kayak/canoe paddling.   Kim will be arriving the Thursday night before.  


Update on the camping option, per the Linn County Website:

Pinicon Ridge Park-Flying Squirrel Campground: Plan to have Upper A & Upper B Loops open this Friday. Lower A, B & C Loops will remain closed until repairs can be made.
