Pine Creek holds annual ski carnival

Posted

Pine Creek Ski Area held its annual Ski Carnival on Saturday, March 14. It was a beautiful day for skiing. This carnival was started in 1977 and has been a winter tradition ever since. It is a great opportunity for young skiers to show off their talents and for the not-so-young to prove they’ve still got it.

This year, there was live music for those taking a break inside the lodge, some great skiing and yummy food. There were athletes competing from Salt Lake City, Evanston, Star Valley, Bear Lake, Mountain View, Kemmerer and Cokeville.

Pine Creek Ski Area recently finished ski schools with Cokeville, Randolph, Bear Lake, Star Valley Middle School, Osmond Elementary and Evanston Parks and Recreation. With Pine Creek Ski Area in our own back yard, ski school is a great opportunity for kids to learn this fun sport. Season passes for next year are on sale now. Thanks to Paul Etcheverry and his

amazing staff for working so hard to provide this opportunity. Paul wanted

to remind everyone to “keep your tips up.”
