OUTDOORMORE, INC (501c3)
Giving Chippewa Valley residents a chance to get OutdoorMore!
Pinenhurst Park is a year-round outdoor recreation destination for Chippewa Valley residents of all ages. Construction and renovations began at the former ski hill in 2013 and are still in progress to expand this park and make it better than ever.
Facilities Available: Progressive Mountain Bike Gravity Park and Dirt Jumps, Disc Golf, Playground, Hockey Rink, General Skating Rink, Sledding Hill, Hiking Ski & Snowboard Terrain Park Area, and Lighted Cross Country Ski Trails. During the winter months, a gear-share program is operated out of the warming house by Wintermission Eau Claire. Park users can check-out sleds, snowshoes, and Kubb sets free of charge.
Mission:
Our mission (OutdoorMore, Inc.) is to work in partnership with the city of Eau Claire’s Parks and Recreation Department to rebuild and reinvent the former ski hill located at Pinehurst Neighborhood Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. With major focus on the mountain bike experience, we are also creating a winter environment for everyone. We strive to create a valuable community asset where any resident of the Chippewa Valley can have fun and stay active all year long through a variety of outdoor recreational activities.

Happening Now - Winter Facility Development - Phase II (2020 - 2025)
Fall 2020 marked the beginning of Phase 2 of Winter Facility Development. This next phase of development is geared towards prepping the hill and re-opening as a small lift-served ski area. Our lift is not yet operational, but that could be changing soon. Phase 2 improvements include the following:
Lift Installation (Concrete anchors, electric hook-up, loading/unloading stations, lift operator booths, etc.)
Hill Preparations
Continued dirt work (grading the lift line, tubing lanes, cat track, midway unload station, etc.)
Expanded light coverage on ski hill and tubing hill for night operations
Hill cleanup (remove stumps, rocks, debris from hill)
Ski Area Facility Needs
Fencing/Padding
Purchasing tubes
Ski/Snowboard racks
Picnic tables
Equipment storage
Ski Patrol
In order to complete Phase 2 Developments, we will need the support of our community. Please consider donating or volunteering if you are able.
