Kirk Hanna, owner of Mt Hood Skibowl LLC would like to extend his greetings to the Warm Springs Tribal Community. Mr. Hanna and his entire staff would like to offer to the people of the Warm Springs Tribes an opportunity to gather Huckleberries near the ski lifts in the Mt. Hood Skibowl area. A fter feast, the Culture & Heritage department will visit Skibowl to determine when the berries will be ripe. A fter a date has been picked, Mr. Hanna and the Skibowl team would like to offer Tribal Members the opporunity to, at no cost, ride the ski lift to gather berries and then ride the lift back down. This offer is good any time the lifts are normally open through the end of the berry picking season. We would like to also exend an offer of 50% off any pass at the Skibowl Adventure Park every Sunday until we close for the season. In order for Tribal Members to gather the Huckleberries, Mr. Hanna and the Mt. Hood Skibowl team will make shuttle vans available at no cost. The Skibowl shuttle vans will depart and return at pre-scheduled times at the education building. Please check the latest Spilyay Tymoo for times of departure and return.
