ALPINE CAT JAMBOREES
5th Annual Alpine Cat Jamboree
We are excited to announce that our 5th annual Alpine Cat Jamboree will take place January 26th, 27th, and 28th 2024 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Most of us will be coming in Thursday the 25th and departing Monday morning the 29th. We have teamed up again with Wallowa Lake Lodge where it has worked out so well for us in years past. Last year was a great turnout and we believe everyone really enjoyed their time. I know many people especially love the fact that this is turning into more of a family event with the catters bringing their spouses and kids. It’s a great time for all! With a few minor updates to some things we think it will be even better!
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING LODGING!!!
We are happy to announce we have also partnered with Eagle Cap Chalets (only 1/4 mile away from Wallowa Lake Lodge) to accommodate our overflow lodging if needed. While they do have great places to stay to fit each person's needs they will not be offering meals. If you want to be eating with the rest of the Jamboree group at Wallowa Lake Lodge for breakfast, sack lunches, and dinner, you will need to call Wallowa Lake Lodge first and book your meals. Check with them regarding lodging availability and if they are full they will direct you to Eagle Cap Chalets.
Each morning we will gather for breakfast in the lodge and discuss that day’s plans where we will then head out on our adventure (sack lunches included in meal plan) and then we will end the night with dinner in the lodge. Like years past, the Alpine Cat Jamboree will be sponsored by us, Alpine Cat Tours, Wallowa Alpine Huts, Tucker Sno-Cat Corp., and the US Forest Service. A huge shout out to Wallowa Lake Lodge for accommodating our needs and making it an awesome as well as convenient place to host this event.
With that, we want to give you a heads up. Last year the event was sold out. From what we have heard, it sounds like it will be another sold out event. If you are wanting to secure your stay at the lodge, it is highly recommended you call and book your reservation asap (details below). We are working on an option for overflow stays at a nearby location and as we get more information and if we see the lodge nearing booking out, we will announce the overflow option.
More details to come but here is what we have so far:
