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 and are 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 website 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. For reference, MBNA spent over $22,000 on snow machine equipment in the 2024-2025 season. Please donate to keep this equipment and the MBNA dream alive.
DONATIONS now accepted through Venmo!
