Chester Closed for the Season

Chester Bowl’s closing day was Sunday, March 10th, and we are officially closed for the season. Thank you for spending your winter with us!

We are especially grateful for our staff and volunteers that got us through a challenging winter, and kept everyone out on the slopes as much as possible!

Equipment returns are April 22-24; see the separate blog post for signups for a return slot.

Clean Yer Creek on May 4

Chester Bowl is a partner for the 16th Annual Clean Yer Creek event! In addition to Chester Creek, volunteers will be cleaning up Amity, Merritt, Keene, and Miller creeks. You choose which creek you want to go when you register.

We will comb these creeks for abandoned trash, illegal dumping, and debris. Early registered volunteers will receive an event t-shirt. All volunteers will be rewarded with a post clean up party at Bent Paddle Brewing where we will enjoy a complimentary beer and lunch provided by Northern Waters Smokehaus.

Please join us for this fun spring day outside as we work together to improve our local Duluth watersheds.

We hope to see you on May 4th!

Support Growing Up Chester by doing yoga!

This class is on Sunday, March 10th at 3pm, at the Duluth Yoga studio 14 E St. Marie St.

This all-levels class will teach yoga poses and flow through sequences, as well as hold poses to build strength, flexibility, and to encourage release. Your experience in the studio will help you tackle or recover from the slopes. Class will be 1 hour in length and the room will be gently heated.
