 Deb
Eggen, the new executive director of Ski Gull was today's speaker. Her
background in education and her experience skiing (32 years) makes her the
perfect person to run Ski Gull since the emphasis is on providing a safe
environment for the youth of the area. She has lived in some wonderful
ski areas including Montana and Zurich, Switzer- land.  Her speech started
with some very amusing instructions about how to get ready for the ski season. She
mentioned the children's learn to ski program, the Alpine Club which teaches
kids to race, and the the Brainerd Warriors Race Program. She also
emphasized the fact that Ski Gull
is a non-profit community recreation area that is supported by fund raisers and area business groups that want to keep
the costs down and make it a fun affordable experience for everyone. An
example of their costs includes $12,000 to make snow. As Deb said in her
closing remarks, "Think snow, pray hard, and ski gull!"
Thanks Deb Eggen for the free lift tickets. Ski Gull is looking for volunteers to help with the children's programs.
They also are looking for corporate sponsors who wish to purchase either a back of a chair lift sign
or a parking lot sign to help support the programs.
