Eight weeks till opening...

January 8 2007

Well, this was a very busy week which saw a lot of workers around the site.


Back again this year is the Snow Flunkie, who has been happily chipping snow when he has the time. We also saw a lot of new volunteer "Snobody Uno" who has been shadowing the Snowprentice and learning some snow skills from her. The two of these girls are Snowking approved!


Mr Freeze was also down and he's made an honest start on the stage while Snowbank Frank earned himself a pat on the back from Snowking for his innovative techniques and persevering, despite the Snowking's ever meddlesome hand.

This past week saw us take delivery of a tractor on loan from our good friends and sponsors at Matrix Aviation Solutions. Shiverin' Sam was pleased as punch to go round and round untill he got to shiverin'. His toes and nose froze same as his thumb but he can certainly throw the snow.
We also saw the ever lovely Snowbelle down at the site and she was takin' lots of photos of this week's action.
We got lots of visits from the Paparazzi this week.

Watch for a great piece from Adam "West" in the up coming Yellowknifer, he brought down Missy (his Gal) and she needs new boots. She almost froze her toes too!


Brent Reaney, that acclaimed photographer whose work can be seen on the Snowking website, was shooting some black and white for a dramatic upcoming photo exhibit. Look forward to that!

Lots of visitors coming down already even taking the taxi out to see us. Visitors should remember that temperatures are usually a bit colder on the lake due to the wind so please remember to dress warmly and stay cool.

Talk to you next week, friends.
