Santa's Elf calls numbers for a white elephant gift exchange.
More than 45 backcountry skiers from southern Oregon gathered at Fish Lake to ski the Lollipop Loop and have a Christmas Party in the shelter built in 1936 by the CCC. With 18 inches of snow to break trail through, the group divided into two after skiing the stem of the Lollipop, met at the top of the sucker and passed each other. Everyone had a great ride down the trail groomed by the other group. New skiers had fun taking lessons closer to the shelter.
