We have hosted Ed Duarde, a plein air painter this summer. Ed is finishing his work this week, but will return in the fall to teach classes. Take a look at his website…
Planning a trip to the Boundary Waters? How about the North Dakota Badlands or places in between? Not sure about how the kids will manage in the great outdoors? Snowflake members may camp free for one night during the summer. Now is the time for s’mores and songs around your campsite fire ring. Call George @ 728-5068 or 310-2517 to reserve a spot. As always, Fido or Fifi are welcome, provided they are well mannered and have owners who scoop up after them.
Jane & George
If you happen to visit Snowflake, you will see dozens of little pine trees — many are flagged along the trails and the chalet. Although small now, they will grow, thanks to the dedicated volunteers who planted them. Some of our larger Norway pines were planted 10 years ago by volunteers led by the Piper - Downs family. With care, our new trees will reach these heights!
Tree Planting at Snowflake
You can be a proud partner in the new FOREST to beautify and protect our trails. Hundreds of trees will be planted May l6th, l7th and l8th. Brian Allen, highly respected FORESTER and longtime Snowflake member has agreed to plan and direct the planting.
If you have time to have some fun and be a part of this project, contact George via email ghovland@earthlink.net as to when you are available. Bring your favorite spade or shovel or use one of ours. It’s easy.!!!!!!!

Snowflake Nordic Ski Center is pleased to announce that we have a new and expanded website. Our address will remain the same at www.skiduluth.com What will change is the ability for the dedicated volunteers at Snowflake to update the website on a more consistent basis. Who knows we might even be able to have George trained in and able to post articles and updates on the site.
If you volunteer at Snowflake and would like to be able to post articles on our website, please contact Dave Johnson at djohnson@marshallschool.org and he will add you as an author.
