Downhill Skiing, Ice Fishing, Hunting

Again, today's information is provided by the Plumas County Visitor's guide. They have a wonderful website at http://www.plumascounty.org/ that you can find a huge amount of information on our area.

DOWNHILL SKIING
Stover Mountain is not open for the 2008 season. Stover Mountain Ski Area near Chester offers eight runs ranging from advanced to beginner, accessed by rope tow. Base elevation is 5,100 feet, and the runs are approximately 800 feet long. Open Saturdays and Sundays, snowboarders welcome. Rates are $10 per day for all ages. Ski and snowboard lessons available upon request. Opening date varies. Contact: 530–258-3987 or stovermountain@aol.com.

ICE FISHING
There are several lakes in the immediate vicinity for the less strenuous but just as exciting sport of ice fishing. Just check with the forest service or any fisherman.

HUNTING
Winter is also waterfowl hunting season. The Indian Valley area is renowned for the number of waterfowl that winter there. The Key Brand Angus Pheasant Club offers pheasant hunting from September 1 to May 1. Contact them at (530) 284-6944.
