The Medicine Bow Nordic Association's goal is to
provide high-quality, groomed cross-country ski trails from the Tie City
trail head at Happy Jack and to provide events and activities that promote
cross-country skiing in the area.
MBNA is a non-profit organization supported by its
members, other community contributors, and grants. Memberships and
donations are vital for covering administrative costs such as insurance,
mailings, and the web site where we post information about trail conditions
and events. They also help pay for grooming of the ski trails, which is
done entirely by MBNA. Skiing on groomed trails at other Nordic areas in
the region costs at least $10/day. We encourage you to compare the quality
and ease of skiing at Happy Jack to the low MBNA membership dues and make a
contribution in addition to your membership, or consider a
Lifetime Membership!
Joining MBNA is the best way to stay informed about
events and issues concerning cross-country skiing at Happy Jack.
As a local ski group, MBNA presents unified and
influential proposals to the community and Forest Service for the
advancement of cross-country skiing in the area. You can have a voice by
joining MBNA.

MBNA's lifetime membership program was set up as a way to ensure long
term growth for MBNA. Lifetime memberships cost $350 per person.
As a bonus
to new lifetime members we offer a thank you gift.
Every year, new lifetime members receive a gift from
the MBNA and Cross Country Connection, and all lifetime members are eligible
for a discount on that year’s gift. In the past these gifts have included
windproof-front vests or tights with a retail value of around $100. Contact
Ken Kramer at Cross Country Connection, 307-721-2851 or skiccc@gmail.com,
for information on this year's gift. Lifetime memberships are available only
for individuals. If you have already given a contribution this year it can
be applied toward a new lifetime membership. Lifetime membership
contributions will be applied toward the long-term growth of MBNA.
If you would like to
join MBNA as a lifetime member, please download the membership form, fill it
out and mail it in to us.
