Lapham Peak Friends Snowmaking

March 29, 2008 Snowmaking Loop

The Lapham Peak Friends, in cooperation with the WI DNR & community businesses, have embarked on an ambitious $750,000 project to enhance and expand winter recreational activities at Lapham Peak. When completed, the application of man-made snow will extend the ski season and improve the quality of the snow base for trail users.

A special fund has been established for the snowmaking project within the Lapham Peak Friends organization. A donation of any amount is appreciated; moreover, special recognition will be given to donors of $100 & up. Fundraising begain in October 2005. Four months later, through the supreme efforts of a dedicted park manager, Ed Muzik, the Friends of Lapham Peak Snowmaking Committee, and key donations, the first man-made snow hit the trail at the Peak. Using equipment borrowed from the DNR, high pressure pumps pushed water through firehoses to the snowguns . A pump house erected by an area high school class added a base of operations and major electrical hookups for the portable snowguns helped make snow piles for the Snow Cat to move around. Over $60,000 in Phase 1 donations enabled our dream to become a reality. Phase 2 of the 4-phase project included digging a pond for a cold water source. We now have the pond and are working on putting pipes around the first part of the system. A $3000 donation will buy a section of underground piping.

Phase 2 includes construction of a .83 acre 10 foot deep pond for a cold water source, adding more snow guns, and electrical supply plug-ins, burying pipes and extending the snow-covered trail. Phase 1 & 2 goal reflected below
Phase 3: 2 Kilometers of lighted trail with man made snow
Phase 4: 4 Kilometers of lighted trail with man-made snow

Lapham Peak Friends is a 501©3 non-profit organization, founded in 1988. The Friends have successfully completed a lighted ski trail, handicapped accessible trail, and many matching fund projects. Lapham Peak with its location in the state’s major population center, its lighted ski trails, its proximity to I-94 and its regional reputation for skiing make it a good candidate for snowmaking.

The successful completion of this project will help to secure Lapham Peak’s place as the premier cross country skiing destination in SE Wisconsin.
