CANCELED - Wylder Resort Hope Valley starts the new year with Snowshoe Thompson history program

Due to the heavy snow in Hope Valley and snow removal being unable to clear the parking lot in time at the General Store, the Sunday program has been canceled. It will be rescheduled.

Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra speaker series with a living history presentation of Snowshoe Thompson-Mailman of the Sierra on Sunday, January 1, 2023, at 1 p.m.

Thompson carried the mail across the Sierra Nevada winter snows for 20 years. He would travel the 180-mile round trip in just five days on his hand-crafted snow skates (skis) with nothing more than a jacket, dried meat, matches, and his 80-pound bag of mail. Thompson was one of the most compelling figures to have called the Sierra Nevada home.

The program is free and open to the public and will be at the Wylder General Store, located 1/10th of a mile east of Wylder Resort on California Hwy 88, Hope Valley. Call David at (760) 920-8061 for more information.
