Wow! Four Years in a Row! The Kinsman Foundation gives Very Generous Grant to Restore Lodge Entry.

Every year since the establishment of Friends of Santiam Pass Ski Lodge and the beginning of restoration work, The Kinsman Foundation has supported the project with grant funding. 2021 is no exception. The Kinsman Foundation has awarded FSPSL with a $30,000 grant to help restore the lodge’s “stockade” style entrance. The entrance is an iconic feature of the front of the lodge. It was obscured behind a vestibule added in the late 1970s, but uncovered during demolition work in 2019. Dry rot and damage to the logs will be repaired; the stone foundation will be repaired, doors installed, and the original large log staircase will be replicated. This work is all part of the goal to restore the exterior of the lodge to it’s original look. We want the restored lodge to looked like it did when it was first built in 1940. This grant will make that happen. The faithful funding from the Kinsman Foundation has been so wonderful; we cannot more highly recommend this fine organization.
