SPOKANE, Wash. — Winter arrives early in downtown Spokane this Friday when the Spokane Nordic Ski Association transforms Brick West Brewing into a snow-filled celebration of cross-country skiing and winter recreation.
September Snow Day runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on September 18th and offers free admission and activities for families. The event features a snow machine to create an authentic winter atmosphere, a dedicated snowball fight zone, and live music from DJ Donuts.
Attendees can explore cross-country skiing, skijoring, and adaptive ski equipment on display, with staff available for ski gear sizing.
The evening also includes face painting, snowman crafts, sensory activities, and raffle prizes. A “Guess the First Day of Snow on Mt. Spokane” contest gives participants a chance to win while making predictions about the upcoming winter season.
Food vendors will be on-site, with Yo Dumplings offering dumplings and Kona Ice serving shaved ice. A portion of Kona Ice’s proceeds will be donated to Spokane Nordic.
The event celebrates a significant milestone for the organization: 50 years of cross-country skiing on Mount Spokane.
