OUTDOORMORE, INC (501c3)

Giving Chippewa Valley residents a Place to get OutdoorMore!

Pinehurst Park is an outdoor recreation area located in the heart of the Chippewa Valley, developed as a local year-round destination for action sports. Since 2013, our team of dedicated volunteers have been working hard to reinvent the former ski hill property into something unique for our community. This 60 acre playground is always free to access, and has a little something for everyone!

Facilities Available: Downhill mountain bike trails and dirt jump park, paved pump track, hiking trails, year-round disc golf, playground, hockey rink, general skating rink, crokicurl rink, sledding hill, hike-up ski/snowboard terrain park area, cross country ski trails, snowshoe trails, and enough lights to illuminate the trails on those dark winter nights. Pinehurst does not have a ski lift.

During the winter months, a gear-share program is operated out of the warming house by Eau Claire Parks & Rec. Park users can check-out sleds, snowshoes, Kubb sets, Crokicurl equipment, broomball equipment, helmets, and hockey sticks - all for free! We DO NOT have ice skate rentals :(

Please visit the City of Eau Claire website for warming shelter reservations for dates between 5/15/2026 - 9/30/2026.

Mission:

Our mission is to work in partnership with the city of Eau Claire’s Parks and Recreation Department to develop and reinvent the former ski hill located at Pinehurst Neighborhood Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin into a year-round outdoor adventure park.

Pinehurst Neighborhood Park is owned and managed by the City of Eau Claire. OutdoorMore, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that holds an agreement with the City of Eau Claire to develop and maintain trails and other recreation amenities within the Pinehurst Park property.

Terrain Park is built and groomed by OutdoorMore volunteers. This is a hike-up terrain park for skiers and snowboarders. THERE IS NOT A ROPETOW.

#GivingTuesday Equipment Fundraiser

During this year’s giving season, we are asking for your help to fund a few equipment purchases. Scoops, rakes, and shovels to replace our busted inventory of snow tools, and a new wheelbarrow and plate compactor to be used next dirt season. All of these items will help our volunteer team build and maintain the terrain park, disc golf course, and trails with higher quality (and less back pain ).

Our first priority coming into winter is to purchase some snow scoop shovels. Once we pass the $200 threshold, funding will be secured and we will then continue moving towards the $600 mark to unlock the next item on our list… and so on.

12/27/2025 Update: We have passed the $1,000 mark, which means we have secured funding for the new shovels, rakes, and a wheelbarrow!

Become a member, a partner, or make a donation to OutdoorMore 501(c)3 this giving season and we’ll send you some stickers as a way to say thank you! www.pinehurstpark.org/donate

Winter condition updates can also be found on our website www.pinehurstpark.org (link in bio).

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday weekend! Here’s a look at current conditions at the park. Winter condition updates can also be found on the home page of our website pinehurstpark.org. Pinehurst still has good snow coverage, but it’s feeling a bit like spring conditions out there with hardpacked and slick snow. Icy in the morning, and a little softer by the afternoon. ❄️ Next snowfall event is expected for Sunday Night and conditions should improve during New Years week and should stay good for a while as the cold weather returns. Warming shelter is open 12-7pm thru Jan 2nd while school is out. Lights are on daily until 10pm. 🛷Sledding - Hardpack with some thin spots on the hill. ⛸️Ice Rinks - 🛑CLOSED - expected to open on 12/30/2026. 🏂Terrain Park - Icy hardpack with some thin spots. Lips for rails were all rebuilt/groomed on 12/26. Park will be in good condition after next snowfall. 🎿XC Ski Trails - Last groomed 12/12/2025. Firm in morning, soft in afternoon. Coverage is still good, but numerous footprints on trail. Reminder to hikers to please stay on the side of the trail and off of the ski track. 🥾Snowshoe Trails - Packed with slick/icy conditions - traction devices like crampons or Yaktrax recommended. 🚲Trails open for fat-bikes, but they do not get machine groomed. 🥏Disc Golf - Open with winter course layout.

Pinehurst equipment fundraiser is coming along nicely! 🙌 We’ve now reached $800, so we have secured the funding to purchase some new shovels and rakes to be used for terrain park builds & maintenance. Now we move on to trail equipment. $200 more will get us a nice new wheel barrow, and once we reach the $2,500 TOTAL mark, we will purchase a plate compactor. Packing down and shaping fresh dirt by hand is a lot of work, so this piece of equipment would be a huge help to our trail team! Thank you to everyone who has pitched in so far! Pinehurst really thrives on the support of our community and we’re so glad we all have this special place to share. If you’d like to support year-round outdoor recreation in the Chippewa Valley, please visit pinehurstpark.org/donate to make a contribution. Snow season is off to a great start so far, and we’re looking forward to a few more months of terrain park builds, XC skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, winter disc golf, and ice skating! Warming shelter and sled/snowshoe rentals begins on Mon 12/15 4-7pm, and ice rinks city-wide are tentatively set to open on Dec 26th.

Just like that…winter is back. Snow is thin but we set up features and gave it a groom. We are 100% volunteer ran and do this because we love it and want to share it with everyone! Cheers to snow!

The dirt jumps are officially covered up for the winter, thanks to everyone who helped make this the best bike season we’ve had yet!

Nothing like a little taste of snow to get us excited for the upcoming winter season! ❄️ We spent some time earlier this week getting ski trails cleaned up and placing the big dog @dynamic_fitness_and_strength rails on the hill. The lights are on, the disc course has been transitioned to its winter layout, and there will definitely still be more time to bike, but we’re getting ready for a great winter season with lots of snow! 🤞 Another note - we’d love to replace some of the old terrain park features, so if you have any rails, PVC, corrugated pipe, propane tanks, etc. that you’d like to donate (or sell), we’re always interested!

Some of the OutdoorMore board met last night. Exciting stuff in the works for Pinehurst Park! Besides the rope tow, what do you want to see this winter and next summer season at Pinehurst Park?

An imperfect trailer for sale by Pinehurst. There is some damage, it’s not in the best shape. Best offer, we don’t use it any longer. It’s located near the dirt jumps. Please DM us if interested. Size of the trailer will fit 4 quads.

Did anyone notice the new bike trail signage…What’s your favorite trail?

It’s that season…Disc Golf at night kinda season. Enjoy!

Fun was had at the Pinehurst Bike Jam 2025! Congrats to the winners and thank you all for competing and enjoying the day with us! What was your favorite part?

And did we mention there will be T-shirts?? 🤘 $20 for sale on event day with cash or PayPal. If we run out of your size or you can’t make it to the event, don’t worry, we will be running more into the holiday season. Proceeds from shirt sales will go to OutdoorMore, Inc - the volunteer group that builds and maintains trails, disc golf, and the snow park at Pinehurst. Thank you to @thesticker_spot for your help with the shirts! 🔥
