Dacha at Marshall Lake Getting an Upgrade!
The beloved dacha (pronounced "dat-tcha" - it's Russian for cottage) at Marshall Lake is getting some love. It was built as a millennial project in 2000 - find out more at https://phoenixnordic.com/the-dacha/. After more than 20 years, the old wood shavings floor and tar-paper walls attracted wild animals, so they are both gone. A new concrete floor (left) has been installed, the door is being put back on, and the woodstove will be back in time for winter.
Thanks to our Trail Manager, funded by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary for the GFCTS, Phoenix Nordic Ski Club, and the Kettle River Cycling Association, for spearheading this project!
