Nina MacLeod and Snowshoe Thompson (aka Steve Hale) will lead people on a ski-snowshoe tour through Hope Valley.

Registration and rentals are available at the yurt. (From South Lake Tahoe, go straight onto Burnside Road at the junction.) A $10 donation is requested.

This is a benefit for the Friends of Snowshoe Thompson to promote awareness about him and to maintain his statue in Genoa.

For more info, call Nina at (530) 573.8940 or Sue at (775) 315.7777.
