"After Montana’s Marshall Mountain ski resort closed in 2002, hundreds of skis, boots and snowboards in the shuttered gear rental shop sat largely untouched -- until last week." Silas Phillips, park ranger for the now county-owned site, has figured out what to do with the old equipment. The equipment is too old to use safely, so it’s being donated to Hellgate High School to use in building projects. “I think Hellgate just has the hands to process the 500-odd skis, and it’s kind of a win-win,” Phillips said. “Those kids get experience working with those materials and building with a special project material.”
