Help us buy a new groomer in 2028!

Nickel Plate is excited to launch our Winter Fundraiserwith a big goal in mind: securing a new groomer by 2028!  Thanks to past contributions and budget planning, we’re already partway there. But to make this dream a reality, we still need to raise approximately $40,000

  • 100% of all donations will go directly to purchasing a new groomer
  • Every donation over $50 will receive a tax receipt!

Join us in building the future of winter adventure at Nickel Plate. Every donation, big or small, moves us one step closer to freshly groomed trails for years to come!
