The SORA Equipment Lending Library system will make well-maintained outdoor recreational equipment available on a sliding scale or no-cost basis to serve low-income and disproportionately impacted populations from the Siskiyou-Mount Shasta region. The purpose of the project is to ensure youth and disabled people have equitable access to essential equipment so they can participate in fun and healthy activities offered through local outdoor recreation programs.

Mt. Shasta Nordic Center is excited and so very grateful to welcome the new Pisten Bully 100 snowcat groomer to our trails and our selection of tools to provide exceptional grooming. Thanks to community support, grants from local non profit organizations and a leap of faith from the Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance board, we’ve got a new machine. Learn more about the groomer and remember, this pretty machine comes with a hefty price tag - you can still donate to help us pay off the Pisten Bully. We hope you’ll appreciate the care and quality grooming on our trails at Mt. Shasta Nordic Center. Enjoy your time on the snow!
Mt. Shasta Nordic Center Facilities Upgrade Project total is $1.4M & we only need $280k to finish!
The State Parks grant, local donors, outstanding partners and private foundations have made our achievements possible. More funding is needed to complete the project.
Project elements in need of funding: • Funding to pay off the groomer quickly to save SORA the cost of $40,000 in interest. • Lodge furniture, cabinets and amenities • New skis, boots, poles and bindings for the rental center • Purchase of equipment for plowing the Nordic Center parking lot • Additional thinning of hazard trees along Nordic trails
