Help Tsalteshi brighten up winter with the Tsalteshi Tree Ski!
Decorate — by Jan. 1
Vote — Throughout January
Winner announced — Feb. 1
Undecorate — By end of February
We’re looking for volunteers to decorate trees on the Moose Loop (lighted loop behind Skyview Middle School). Decorations should be up by Jan. 1. Tsalteshi members will vote for their favorite tree throughout January and the winner will get a Viewer’s Choice Award. Vote by taking a picture of your favorite tree and sending it to info@tsalteshi.org. All TTA members who vote for their favorite tree will be put in a raffle for prizes, as well.
Businesses, organizations, teams, families, friends, groups of complete strangers who happen to like decorating — come one, come all! The Moose Loop has small, medium and large trees available, suitable for families with young kids up to the more ambitious (but don’t risk hurting yourself and don’t damage the trees trying to get them decorated).
We unfortunately don’t have power available for lights, so think colorful, rather than electrified. Or, LED strings and battery packs on a timer last a decent amount of time. Large decorations are more visible than small. Silver and white decorations don’t show up in the snow. And you might need to go shake snow off your tree once in a while. Signage for your business, organization, team, etc. is welcome (but not required). Once you’ve selected and decorated a tree, email a picture and name(s) of the decorator(s) to info@tsalteshi.org so we know which tree is which.
The Moose Loop is in a ski-only portion of the trails. If you are unable to ski and want to decorate a tree, you may use snowshoes to access the Moose Loop from Skyview. No motorized access is available.
We’re also collecting raffle prizes. If you have anything you’d like to donate as a prize, contact info@tsalteshi.org
