Interview with George Hovland
January 15th, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »“We have quite good conditions on our trails — mainly with natural snow. Our trees have protected us from the ‘burn off’ open spaces experience, and what we have lost, we have augmented with human-made snow.” George plans to continue designating Ben and LeAnne as chief trail assistants. He encourages skiers to leave feedback and course information with them. “We are all hoping for the Birkie,” says George. “Snowflake is the best venue for training in most of Minnesota.”
Most of MN is snowless, but we are making it
January 15th, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »Many of you know that Snowflake has snowmaking, but you might not know that we have recently upgraded our equipment. On nights when it is cold enough, Ben has been making snow for our members and guests. Is it perfect? What is? But it makes skiing possible and fun. Our trails are in very good shape, thanks to the continued snow-farming of George and crew. Kidski Kids really know! Whahooo!
Great Skiing in November? Yes!!
November 26th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »Our early snow and great grooming techniques have resulted in wonderful early season skiing. All trails are groomed and ready for classic or skate skiers. The chalet is warm, too, and if you are lucky, you might see George Hovland skiing with our dog LuLu. They are both 12 years old (in dog years) and proof that winter snow means health and joy.
