Welcome to the Stagestop Owners Association (SOA) website.
This is one way for the Board of Directors to communicate with the membership. It's the boards' hope that the site will keep the members up to date and help the members to have a stronger voice with their voting rights. New issues will be listed here and if there is a need to call for a vote, a notice will be sent out via email.

Bears, Bears, Bears at the Pond in Stagestop
      There have been several bear encounters between people fishing and our local bear population. The incentive has been determined to be people cleaning their fish and leaving the remains. The bears are only trying to make a living, it's up to people to exercise their common sense. Take the fish home and clean them, don't leave any garbage, take a lesson from Yellowstone - garbage attracts bears. Please pay attention before someone gets hurt.

Stagestop Water Pump
The water pump near the entrance to Stagestop is now working for the summer. we have had someone contaminating it for the past few years so although the water tested OK but it might be best to just use it to fill toilets. it will be tested throughout the summer.
