SUMMARY:Troll's 9th Annual Mount Everest Challenge
DESCRIPTION:What is the Everest Challenge? The Everest Challenge is the brainchild of Len Sinclair\, co-owner of Troll Resort. He did the math and determined that if a person were to complete a certain number of designated runs (on our mountain) it would be the equivalent height as having climbed Mount Everest!\nWhat are those designated runs? The magic number is 20\, but 7 of those runs are mandatory. The 7 mandatory runs are Snow White\, Hurdy Gurdy\, Viking\, White Lighting\, Overlander\, The Rush and Racer’s Edge. The remaining 13 runs are skier/snowboarder’s choice. It is a true test of what you can accomplish…and it IS possible. Lifts begin\, for the challengers\, at 8:30am and run until 4:19pm. A hotdog lunch and refreshment is provided at the bottom of the red lift.\nThis event is open to ALL AGES and an AMAZING DRAW PRIZES is handed out to each age category\, who completes their 20 runs! Age Catagories are:\n7 & under\, 8-16\, 17-35\, 36-49\, 50 and over\n**18 years & under\, MUST have a signature of their parent or guardian to participate**\n– THE EVEREST BASE CAMP CHALLENGE for ages 7 and under\nEvery year we have some wee little ones and THIS year we wanted to give them their own attainable goal. Everest Base Camp. The equivalent distance to reach Base Camp is 12 runs. The 7 mandatory runs and 5 more of their choosing.\nENTRY FEE AND RULES for MOUNT EVEREST\nEntry fee is $30 per person and other than the opportunity to challenge yourself\, you will also receive the collectible Troll Mount Everest T-Shirt\, event sticker\, lunch\, beverages and your name entered into the prize draw\, should you complete the challenge!\nWe still have the popular Speed Pass available. This handy little pass allows you to cut to the front of the line (Red Lift)\, up to 6 times! Cost is an additional $10\, and can be worth it when you give your waiting friends a wave as you cut in front of them.\nRULES\n1.No speeding\, this is a challenge\, not a race.\n2.The 7 runs identified on the attached trail map must be taken. You will need to pick up\, on each of the identified runs\, the token for that run which must be given to the attendant at the TOP of the Red Lift station\, in order for you to be credited for that run.\n3.The remaining 13 runs can be taken on any of the runs off of the top of the Red Lift station. No speeding!!!\n4.At the end of your 20th run\, turn in your bib at the bottom of the lodge.\n5.You have to make 20 runs to get into the draw for prizes. Make sure you check on how many runs you have made.\nHot dogs and drinks will be served at the bottom of the Red Lift\, for lunch.\nThe prizes for each age group will be given out by a random draw\, in the lodge\, at 5:00pm. \nCAMPING at EVEREST BASE CAMP\nThis has become a yearly tradition (and another way to get your name entered into a draw). Winter camping is fun\, and camping with your whole family is even more fun! At the end of the ski day\, on Saturday\, campers are welcome to set up their tents and prayer flags (if they have any). There will also be fantastic DRAW for those who camp. Trust us\, you and your whole family will want to get your name entered into this one 😉

SUMMARY:Medicinal Plant Walk
DESCRIPTION:ave you ever wondered what that little flower is on the forest floor or which plants are safe to eat and which are not? Join Birch Kuch on Saturday August 6th from 1-3 pm for an afternoon walk through the Wells marsh and Community Forest to identify many of the useful plants that grow all around us.  We will focus on abundant species that are resistant to over harvesting while discussing wildcrafting ethics\, processing techniques\, and common ailments suitable to herbal treatment. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBirch’s passion for wild medicinal and edible plants started as a child picking berries.  As he grew up he found out that many of his favourite smelly plants\, from yarrow and wild mint to willow and aspen\, are actually useful to us as medicine. \nHerbal medicine is not a replacement for mainstream medicine\, but the two complement each other very nicely. A basic understanding of safe local herbs can help prevent and ameliorate some of the ailments that modern medicine struggles with. \n\nThis workshop is Pay What You Can \nReserve your spot here (you can only book one space at a time): https://islandmountainarts.as.me/plant-walk
