About Teacup Lake Nordic Club
Teacup is operated by the Teacup Lake chapter of the Oregon Nordic Club, under a volunteer agreement with the Mt Hood National Forest. We are volunteer operated and depend on donations and membership fees. Volunteers maintain the trails and facilities and organize cross country ski events and races.
Teacup Lake Nordic does not have reqularly, scheduled ski lessons and we are not offically in the business of giving lessons. Although, in the past few years the club has held an annual Tea Party fundraiser that includes lessons in skate and classic skiing. These lessons are taught by member volunteers.
Trail grooming is contracted and costs $800 weekly. Teacup also has to pay for the special use permit, trail maps, repairs, firewood, toilet paper, emptying the outhouse tank, and all the other obscure expenses of running a groomed trail program. We do not get any funding from sno-park permits, state or federal agencies. We need everyone’s support. Become a member or make the daily use donation fee of $5.00.
Spread the word! Others will feel better about donating if they know you do your part.
