Doug also recalls when garbage went right into the Nooksack River. He is very proud of helping to convince the Snowline owners to purchase a compacter for garbage, which is hauled away once a month.

We were "introduced" to Snowater in the late `70's. That particular summer we'd decided to spend time in our own back yard, so to speak, and had purchased a great little book which detailed many local get-away spots and Snowater was one of them. At the time the book was written, however, Snowater had a rental program so when we arrived, we were disappointed to learn that the rental program was gone and in its place was a real estate company selling timeshares. WELL ... long ago, we'd experienced a very unpleasant experience with a high-pressure timeshare seminar and sales pitch so we immediately said "Not Interested!" 

However, the salesman was so engaging and charming that we decided to take him up on his offer of a free weekend stay. We've been here ever since and absolutely love it! Many years later, we were to discover that one of Dan's cousins was one of those instrumental in the early planning stages of Snowater; that Dan's brother was a roommate of Gary Graham (past Snowater owner and Glacier's colorful entrepreneur); and that a friend spent his childhood working in his family's strawberry business on land reached only by that narrow logging road barely visible on the hillside across the Nooksack from Snowater. Our friend also remembers years ago watching with fascination as our beloved Log Cabin was taken apart and numbered piece by piece so it could be relocated and painstakingly put back together again for all to enjoy here at Snowater. 

For us, Snowater is a place to come and recharge our batteries .... to do as much or as little as we want .... to visit with others or just cocoon ourselves in front of the fireplace with a good book until ~~~~~sigh~~~~~ t's time to pack up and head back into the "real world". We value the many friendships we've made at Snowater over the years and we've met people from all walks of life and all parts of the country who have traded into Snowater. 

If you're reading this, that means that you - either as an owner or a guest - are reading about the History of Snowater. This project has been an absolutely awesome undertaking by the MacNaughtons and the Crowleys. Seems like just yesterday when Don MacNaughton first proposed this endeavor but the reality is that this history project has been a long, long time in the making with countless hours spent gathering up all the bits and pieces that came together to make Snowater what it is today. Their goal was to have it completed for everyone's enjoyment by the year 2000 and they've done it! Thank you for your wonderful commitment and dedication to Snowater. 

Jillian Sizemore and The Champ

Mountain Boy 203 

June 2000 

"This is a quick story about my dog, The Champ, who you will soon find out lives up to her name. Pat and Don MacNaughton thought the story worthy of the 25th Anniversary History of Snowater, of which I am honored to be a part. 

First, I'll introduce myself. I'm Jillian, the bookkeeper here at Snowater. I also recently purchased a unit here and hope to be a part of the community for years to come. The Champ is a German shepherd I found running up the highway last July 4th. She was like an angel that appeared in my life at the most perfect time. We did lots of hiking at the mountain this past ski season and I have always felt confident of her ability in the steep sections of the Mt Baker Wilderness, as she would follow me down while I snowboarded, although Mother Nature can be dangerously overpowering no matter how skilled one might be. 

On April 30th Jimmy, my friend and co-worker at Milano's, was out hiking with the dogs, and The Champ got swept away in an avalanche. She was taken over a rock cliff and dropped about 50 feet into a crevasse and then was buried by the snow above her. Jimmy stayed out till dark looking for her. With no luck, he returned to Glacier with the sad news. For a good week after the accident, myself and friends alike went searching for The Champ, but judging from the size of the slide, soon gave up. The danger was high and only increased with three feet of new snow that fell on top of her in two weeks. 

As I was leaving work at Snowater eighteen days later I got a call from Herb, who works at Mt Baker Ski Area, saying that he found The Champ. I was relieved and also saddened to have to bury my dog, again, but Herb said I only now had to worry about getting her fat again, as she was alive and well (worse the wear and tear) standing right next to him. 

You can imagine the rest of the miracle story and so far she's gained a pound a day and is living like `A Champ'! I thank God for such a wonderful experience and love to share it with everyone, just ask me about her anytime." 

Jake Steiner

Jake Steiner, the youngest of three sons, was born April 2, 1918 on his parent's homesteaded land. Jake still lives in the second home, built in 1906 after a fire in 1905 destroyed the first home. 

Herman Steiner homesteaded in the township of Glacier in 1893. Township is a misnomer. Miners had preceded Herman up the north fork of the Nooksack but Glacier was uninhabited. There were neither roads nor bridges. Shortly after homesteading, Herman Steiner helped cut the road from Maple Falls to Glacier. It was not until 1926 that the road was cut to the top. While Steiner had been a placer miner, once he homesteaded he was a productive farmer and dairyman. 

The Steiners set the scene for further homesteading in the Glacier area. Harold and Nancy Samson moved to Seattle from South Dakota in 1891. They homesteaded 160 acres along the Nooksack River in 1907 in the name of their daughter, Nellie. Nellie Samson and Lina Steiner (Jake's mother) were friends. The Samson Ranch served food. These 160 acres eventually became Snowline and Snowater. 

The Warnick lumber mill, built in 1923, sat adjacent to the Steiner house. Warnick engineered the bridge across the Nooksack. The mill closed in 1939; the last logs were hauled out in the 50's by railroad to Sumas and then south to Bellingham, then barged to Tacoma.

Grandfather's Clock

"I always wanted a large clock. We didn't have one in our home. There was no money for such extravagance in our family's home as a child. 

After Kay and I married, at the time of Snowater, we had no room in our home. 

So, I had the opportunity to express my passion for a clock in a perfect place — the log home. 

The clock was designed and made in California by a person recommended by the graphic designers in Seattle. It seemed the right fit for the log house — not as refined as other choices. 

Of course, the logo was carved on the front so we needed a design that would accommodate that wish. 

I have a small (1' x 4') wall clock in my home office that was purchased at the same time from the same clockmaker which for me is a unique connection in my home office to Snowater."
