Please join us for our 29th annual North Star trip to the north woods near Hackensack, Minnesota, north of Brainerd. With more than 18K of groomed ski trails just outside the door, including a short loop in easy terrain, Deep Portage provides perfect conditions for children and beginners just getting started, with plenty of challenges for more experienced skiers. Enjoy a full weekend of forested hills, good food, an indoor climbing wall, and, on Saturday night, music and dancing with Terrence Smith. Comfortable accommodations include dorm rooms with showers and toilets, plus plenty of common spaces for socializing and/or relaxing with a book. Cost is $137 per person for two nights and five meals ($112 for children 13 and under; no charge for kids 5 and under). To reserve your place, send check for the total amount/person, along with a signed trip waiver to Margie Schally, 1619 Hague Ave, St. Paul, MN 55104.
