Winter Fun Day at Frost Fire Ski Lodge
Gov. John Hoeven officially proclaimed January 19 as “Winter Fun Day’’, promoting tourism officials to shush down the slopes and rev up their snowmobiles and ski resorts and winter events across the state. The goal was to showcase the many winter activities, events and opportunities that can be found in every part of North Dakota.
“In every region of North Dakota you can find a place that celebrates winter fun. We have family-friendly downhill skiing. We have snowboarding, tubing, ice fishing and snowmobile festivals. Miles of cross-country ski trails can be found at your local golf course or state park. winter fun is everywhere in this state,’’ said Sara Otte-Coleman, Tourism Director. Sara and her family celebrated Winter Fun Day at Frost Fire Ski Area west of Walhalla on Saturday.
Most of the state’s downhill ski areas have snow-making abilities and resort representatives emphasized their ability to ensure good runs and plenty of snow cover.
“Often times when people look out the window and see very little snow, they forget that other area of the state either have snow or when it comes to ski runs can make snow,’’ Otte Coleman said.
Dick and Judith Johnson, owners of Frost Fire truly are leaders when it come to tourism and quality recreation. Frost Fire Ski Lodge and Amphitheatre play a major role in Walhalla’s Tourism Action Plan.
