R.I.P. Jim Rogowski

It is with great sadness to Cascade Ski Club and to NWSCC to announce that Jim Rogowski passed away Wednesday, July 14, 2021, from esophageal cancer. Jim will always be remembered fondly by all for his devotion to the Cascade Lodge and its upkeep. A man of many talents and trades - he worked extensively and tirelessly to maintain and improve the Lodge. Many stories will be told for generations to come about his projects.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to know and work alongside Jim. He was well known within the ski community at Mt. Hood Meadows and around Government Camp. Jim was an accomplished instructor who was active in PSIA and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with many members, friends, and foes. He traveled far and wide, always looking for opportunities to contribute to the ski community and to support his many friends and colleagues.

Jim will greatly be missed by Cascade Ski Club, and the Lodge itself will miss his fine tuning. We will be planning a celebration of life later - early April of 2022 at the Lodge. Jim maintained his sense of humor throughout his brief illness and was spirited to the very end - leaving us with an abundance of advice and lists of chores to do. Yes, Jim - we will keep the windows clean!

Bunk M7 will be permanently designated at the "Jim Rogowski Bunk" and a plaque will be placed in memory of Jim.

Cheers to the great Rogowski!
Jackie Lane and the CSC Board of Directors
