Huff Hills Ski Area in Mandan, North Dakota is about to undergo some major improvements. KX News reports that the Indy Pass partner will add night skiing, among other important projects. These additions are thanks to a $650,000 North Dakota Destination Development Grant.
Amanda Ihmels, who’s the President of Huff Hill Sports, detailed the importance of adding night skiing to KX News:
“The ability to be able to extend practice times possibly into the evenings or early morning hours is really going to help not only make practice times safer for the skiers in our program, but also free up that really nice hill that’s over there for the general public to ski on over the weekends, too.”
According to Andrew Beck, who’s the Operations Manager, explained to KX News the other projects they’ll be working on:
“For us being able to replace 30-year-old snowmaking infrastructure is going to be awesome, and we’ll also be able to add some snowmaking capacity. People will also be able to see that we’ll be reconfiguring some buildings. We’ll be putting up a new rental shop building, and we’re going to refer to it as a welcome center. It’ll be a one-stop shop for ski lessons, lift tickets, and rentals, and that’ll allow us to increase the number of people that we can introduce to this sport.”
