Who Runs This Joint?
Jonas and Anna Tarlen with a massive amount of help from friends!
We absolutely love to ski and we are proud of the infrastructure we have created. Everything from our hand build huts, sauna, haul trailers, custom Sno-park office, mountains of firewood, remote bathrooms, and the establishment of ski routes is the culmination of an insane amount of work both on and off the slopes.
Our friends and community are a big part of making this all happen. Our friends helped build the huts, set up every season, shovel snow, split wood, build our website, contribute photos and countless other projects.
Original founders and our longtime partners Shane and Liz moved on in 2015. Shane’s creativity is expressed in the construction of the huts and his metal artwork graces all the front doors.
