Although everyone is invited space is limited and the main lodge and cabins are full. We've already created an overflow list and are considering alternative lodging and snow support. If we can come up with a large enough overflow we may be able to offer snow support to transport people from the bear lodge, and anyone willing to drive from Lovell (1/2 hr. drive) can meet at the road closure (if it's closed) at a designated time for a ride to the terrain. If you have touring gear you're looking at a mile skin from the Lovell side before you can launch. Camping is available as well. We will update you with this.

We're asking for the NW kite community to post topics, concerns, and perspectives they would like discussed and we will post any conclusions and ideas from these discussions.

Thanks!

The road is closed west of the Bear Lodge, so a snowmobile will be required for transportation – ask about nightly rates that include snowmobile rental.

For all attendees who are staying off-site, gear storage will be available at the High Country Lodge, “basecamp” for the Summit. Additionally, breakfast, lunch & dinner at the Lodge will be available to off-site attendees. An RSVP is required if you are staying off-site & would like to take advantage of meals.
