Today!!

Built by the community, for the community.

A small glimpse into the magic that surrounds our historic organization. Since 1937 Payette Lakes Ski Club has been a cornerstone of winter recreation in our community. We’re proud to be a nonprofit, locally owned ski area. That means we rely on help from our community members to keep the T•Bar spinning at Little Ski Hill, and the Nordic trails pristinely groomed at Bear Basin Nordic Center.

We depend heavily on our winter operations. A second low-snow year in three years has left our operating fund critically strained. PLSC needs your help right now to reach our fundraising goal during Idaho Gives. Today, on day 3 of giving, we aim to raise $2,000. That is 80 donations at $25 each.

Here is how you can make an immediate difference:
🌟 Share your fondest memories spent at LSH or
Bear Basin Nordic Center. This can be done through social media or in conversation.
🌟 Promote our donation page through . Tell a friend!
🌟 Donate. No matter the size of the contribution, it makes an impact. 🔗 idahogives.org

We are so grateful for this community - for all the loyalty, your enthusiasm, and your belief in what we are continuously building together. Thank YOU!

Welcome to day 2 of .

We are blown away by how everyone showed up during day 1 of giving. 💛 Here at Payette Lakes Ski Club we made a good dent in our 4 days of giving goal. We still have a bit to go these next few days, with every dollar and story shared making an impact - securing the commitment to our community and facility operations at Little Ski Hill and Bear Basin Nordic Center.
Your contributions directly impact our recovery from the past dry winter.

Wow! Thank you to all the friends who showed up for our Earth Day clean up at Little Ski Hill. The weather was less than ideal, but we persisted. We collected many buckets of trash from Winter melt out, found some treasures and were able to give the interior of the lodge a Spring spruce up. Remember, small gestures can make big impacts!
