Thanks to Scott, Diane, Bob, Bill, Naomi, Jim A, Kate, Robert and Patrick for giving up one or both weekend days to help out with the trail clear at Laurel Ridge.  We removed brambles and fallen branches from the orange and red trails, and cleared debris from the drains that go under the red trail. This will help to preserve the snow on the trail.  

Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Pennsylvania Cross Country Skiers Association (PACCSA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit and volunteer-led organization, to help cover the essential annual costs of our Laurel Mountain Grooming Project.

New requirements introduced by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in 2025 added $2,900 of annual expenses for commercial liability insurance and a new Area Use fee.  We are seeking community support to close the funding gap and enable us to provide free groomed cross country ski trails at Laurel Mountain.

A letter from PACCSA's Board of Directors is linked here.  It explains the situation.  If you're not able to contribute directly at present, perhaps you are a customer of a local business that would be interested in sponsoring the grooming in return for thanks and publicity on this website, on the front page, the grooming project page and on the webcam pages which are viewed by thousands each winter.
