On our Warm Springs tribes reservation we
pick along the Deschutes river, Tenino stream
areas, along shitaikt creek and in the meadow,
and streams of the forest areas.
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.
If you are intrested in riding a van to Mt. hood Skibowl contact
