Thanks to Ronin Fermentation Project, we’ll be serving up the tastiest beer in all that land. 100% of beer sales will benefit Fox Cultural Hall and its Arts For the Schools programs.
We sure accomplished a lot while we were having all that fun, check out some highlights.
Camping
We pioneered a campground to accommodate over 500 people at Johnsville Ski Bowl, Complete with walking paths, emergency vehicle access, clean drinking water, 24hr first aid, restrooms, fire crew, community kitchen, camp host, recycling center, outdoor classroom, yoga rooms, five stages, and countless jam spots. We operated our campground for 26 days and nights since 2013 without a single arrest or noise complaint. We created an inclusive space to build community while celebrating art and adventure. Most importantly, we never left a trace .
Music
Since 2013, we hosted over 220 scheduled sets of live music and countless hours of unscripted musical collaborations. At most times, there were more artists in the crowd than on stage, occasionally getting crowd surfed to the stage to sing a verse or play a violin solo.
Simple Livin’
We never brought a single use cup on-site. Instead, we gave every attendee, volunteer, artist and guest a reusable cup each year. Based on beverage sales, number of attendees and days of hoedown… we eliminated over 100,000 single use plastic cups from the waste stream. And that’s just at the Hoedown, we know ya’ll keep rocking those cups in everyday life, keep it going! Say no to single use!
Fundraising
Since 2013, LSH worked alongside Plumas Ski Club to raise over $70,000 to put toward maintaining and improving the ski hill. Funds were used to install a new 40Kw Eco-Friendly Generator and re-wiring of the entire lodge with rodent proof wiring. Additionally, the bathrooms were updated with all new toilets and plumbing to ensure continued operation. Other projects completed include mastication of the Longboard Run several as well as fixing and maintaining the groomer..
Service Hours
We logged over 1000 service hours on-site at Johnsville Ski Bowl with several dozen volunteers. We are so grateful to the friends who came out to spread wood chips, reduce fire danger and eliminate hazards. We spread over 50 yards of woodchips by hand since 2013. Woodchips made a safer place to play and camp, reduced erosion, encouraged native plant growth and provided a better ski surface for low snow conditions during the winter!
