Meany Lodge
Visitors to Meany
During the summer, Meany offers a range of activities including biking, hiking, mushroom hunting and the opportunity to learn all sorts of skills during work parties to prepare the lodge for next winter's snow. Come learn to splice ropes, maintain tracked vehicles, weld, split wood, do plumbing or carpentry, maintain trails, and more! This summer we'll be fabricating new massive wooden wheels for the drive and idler pulleys on the Mach Rope Tow and installing them. To register for work parties, use these links: Oct 27-28, Nov 10-11.
Come Dec 27th, 2018, Meany will be open for winter sports, play, and skiing again!
