$410,000 worth of improvements are planned for Meissner Snow Park seven miles southwest of Bend. “The funds will help us do the final expansion at Meissner Sno Park to expand the sno-park by 60 parking spaces. As most visitors know on the weekends that place gets pretty crowded.” Amy Tinderholt of the Deschutes National Forest says construction funds won't be available until 2015 but planning work will precede that. Money will also be allocated for shuttle buses, a new shelter and new toilet facilities.
