MBNA is a non-profit organization supported by its members, other community contributors, and grants. We operate under a Challenge Cost Share Agreement with the U.S. Forest but are entirely responsible for the grooming of the Nordic ski trails at the Happy Jack area. Tax deductible memberships and donations are vital for covering administrative costs such as insurance, mailings, and the web site where we post information about trail conditions and events. They also help pay for grooming of the ski trails, which is done entirely by MBNA.

Skier Survey
Thanks to everyone that filled out our skier survey. With 220 responses, we got lots of good comments (our groomers ARE the best, aren't they?!) and some fun suggestions. We'll use the off season to plan on how we might implement some of them. And in the meantime--we hope you all have a great summer!
