Artists rendition of the lodge at the Leavenworth Ski Hill with a patio. More than $120,00 was raised Wednesday evening toward a goal of $500,000 to renovate the historic Leavenworth Ski Hill complex.

Kjell Bakke invited me to hear about the winter projects being planned at Leavenworth, and we gathered at the Ski Hill Lodge at foot of the former 90-meter Bakke ski hill, named for his father Magnus and uncle Hermod.
