​What is MOMs?

Moms on the Mountain is a fundraiser for the Nevada City Schools Foundation, which benefits the students of our school district. It is a non-competitive day of scenic beauty, personal challenge and fun for women: mothers and non-moms alike. We’ve had 3 generations hiking and raising funds at the same event. ​Our hikers have ranged in age from 18 to 80+.

Why Should You Come?

It's really fun and it's for the kids! 
This year we are at it again and hope to make it the best year yet. The monies raised from MOMs directly affects all the students in the Nevada City School district and helps them have a more enriched education. For the next few years, NCSF will focus its funding on projects that maximize the opportunity to reach all students.

19320 Donner Pass Road
Norden, CA 95724
​
From I-80, take exit 174, Norden/Soda Springs. Traveling from the west, go straight at the stop. From the east, turn left over the bridge, then another left onto Highway 40 / Donner Pass Road, following signs to ski resorts, 3 miles. 

There will be three well-marked trails with distance options ranging from 2 - 6 miles. When you return to the lodge, we serve lunch, have a no-host bar, and open a silent auction for bidding. This is a perfect way to meet new friends, reconnect with old friends, enjoy a girls' weekend away, renew your energy, and raise money for the school district. ​
