Alpine Snow Cat Jamboree

Our fourth annual Alpine Cat Jamboree will once again be held in Joseph, Oregon. We are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Wallowa Lake Lodge again who will be accommodating the lodging and all of our meals. It worked out great last year being in the same location all together to where we could gather and meet in the mornings at breakfast, head out on our adventures with our sack lunches and close the night out with dinner in the lodge. Once again, the Jamboree will be sponsored by us, Alpine Cat Tours, Wallowa Alpine Huts, Tucker Sno-Cat Corp.,and the US Forest Service.

​

With the way things are going and having the Jamboree held two weeks later it looks very promising that the snow depth will be the best it has been for us since starting the Jamboree.

​More details to come but here is what we have so far:

Please make your reservations asap. There will be a cut off date for registration. I will post that date as soon as I confirm.

NOTE: If and when you guys reach out and make your reservations please email me at jesse@alpinecattours.com and let me know so I can keep a head count for number of cats and number of people in your party. Please also include your contact information so I can include you in the group text messages that we send out for various reasons. Each registered cat gets an event poster so please let me know once you've registered so I can put you down for a poster.

ACTIVITY DAYS DETAILS:

​

I will be updating as it becomes more concrete. But, some of our activities will be played by ear regarding which date we will do them due to weather etc. But we will be doing the following:

o   Summit Mt. Howard. Hopefully there will be a break in the weather because this provides some excellent views of Wallowa Mountains and Wallowa Lake.

o   Salt Creek Summit view loop: This is a fun scenic loop and if it is clear weather you can see things like the Wallowa range, the Seven Devil’s Range in Idaho and Hells Canyon.

o   Ferguson Ridge Ski Area: this will be more of just a play date and would like to do a hill climb competition. Trophy for the winner.

o   Friday night Pit party at Wallowa Lake Lodge. We will be gathering all of the cats in the same location in front of the lodge and have this pit party event be available to the local community. They will be able to come and view the machines and ask any questions they may have. I believe we will be doing burgers and weenie roast that night. Should be a fun one!

​

We will also have some swag for giveaways provided by our sponsors, Alpine Cat Tours, Wallowa Alpine Huts, and Tucker Sno-Cat Corp.
