Description
The David Pettigrew Memorial Foundation promotes awareness, safety and education for participants in outdoor recreation and sports activities, especially in the mountains and wilderness areas of the Pacific Northwest. This building at the top of Chair 1 at Alpental Ski Area was hand-built by members of the Alpental Professional Ski Patrol with funds from the foundation, and is dedicated to the memory of David Pedigrew. We use the building not only as a base for public mountain safety education, but for daily ski patrol operations. It's a remarkable structure and is particularly beautiful at night, with custom made deck lights fabricated from used avalanche control artillery shells. The building is locally known as "The Tarn" because there's a small mountain pond nearby in the summer.
