🏅 Meet Wausau's own Bill Bowler!

Join us Monday, July 27 at 6:30 pm at Perry's Fireside at 9 Mile County Forest (outside the Chalet) for an evening with one of Wisconsin's most accomplished Nordic skiers and biathletes. (If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll move inside the chalet.)

A two-time Wisconsin State Champion, two-time U.S. Biathlon National Champion, former U.S. Biathlon National Team member, and North American Biathlon Cup Overall Champion, Bill will share his journey from local trails to international competition.

Whether you're a competitive skier, a recreational trail user, or simply looking for inspiration to stay active, you won't want to miss Bill's stories, insights, and practical tips for maintaining an active lifestyle.

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Timber Harvest & Sale @ 9-Mile
Hello all:

Next Monday morning Marathon County Forest Department will be meeting with the contractor (Bell Timber) and logging sub-contractor (TNT Logging) to have a presale meeting for the pine sale west and south of the Chalet. They will start harvesting immediately after. Joe surveyed the harvest area and trails today and feel comfortable allowing them to start on the north side of the sale and work south. There are wet areas along the xc ski and single-track trails on the south side that should dry out by the time they begin work in these areas. If not, they can be avoided. We have worked TNT on 4 sales during my time here, and they do very good work.

The logger may drop off their equipment at the Chalet parking lot as early as tomorrow. Signs will be putting up “active timber sale” signs at the kiosks tomorrow, with our contact number for questions and referencing CWOCC’s website for up-to-date trail closure information and sale maps. If all goes well, the anticipated harvest will be completed by mid-June, with hauling that may continue for a week or so afterwards.

See map pdfs in comments for harvest location,

Thank you,

Joe
