We've made tremendous progress raising $35,000 for the new Snow Bowl Hut, but
have another challenge in front of us: raising another $40,000 by the
end of June, which will make us eligible for a $25,000 contribution from a private
foundation, possibly allowing us to start construction this summer!
We know many of you have given what you can, so to reach this next goal,
we need to reach out to local businesses and corporations. It's simple --
just
Request an Info Packet on MTTA and Project Phoenix and present it to
your employer or local business.
Getting the word out CAN make it possible to start rebuilding Snow Bowl this year!

overnight accommodations. Other than a nominal
permit processing fee, there is no charge, as long as
you show up for your reservation and leave the huts
in good condition. The huts and yurt are

lunch facility.
