Skiway sees increased attendance this winter

By Matt McNierney | January 13, 2011

More efficient artificial snow-making machines and increased free transportation for students are factors that have contributed to a recent 7-percent increase in attendance at the Dartmouth Skiway, Douglas Holler, the general manager of the Skiway, said. Holler said he wishes he could attribute the surge in students and community members at the Skiway to a single factor so that he could "bottle it and use it again next year." While it is difficult to pinpoint precisely which factors have caused more individuals to visit the Skiway, the snowfall this season has undoubtedly contributed to the increase in numbers, Daniel Nelson, director of the Outdoor Programs Office, said. "Of course when there's snow on the ground, people get inspired to go skiing," he said. In addition to the natural snow, the Skiway has improved its snow-making capacity due to a $750,000 donation from College alumnae in December 2008, according to Nelson. The gift from four sisters Denise Dupr '80, Rosi Littlefield '82, Anni Santry '83 and Michele Dupr '88 honors the donors' father, Herman Dupr, according to a College press release.
