NOTES
Additional Information:2023: The Snowflake Ski and Golf Club is in Timber Coulee on County Road P north of Westby. As of 2023, the ski and golf club consists of two ski jumps hills (72582 and 246163), a nine-hole golf course (246164), a clubhouse (246165), and three concession/service buildings. The Snowflake Ski Club originated in 1922 and hosted ski jumping tournaments at three previous locations before purchasing lands from the Eugene Volden farmstead at its present location in 1960. Based on topographic maps, the smaller hill, or Junior Hill (246163), was designed and constructed circa 1980. Presently, Junior Hill includes 65-, 40-, 20-, 10- and 5-meter ski jumps for training junior jumpers.
