The Snowflake Ski Club was founded in 1922, in Westby Wisconsin, a peaceful community in southwest Wisconsin with Norwegian roots.  

Based in Timber Coulee, our ski team aims to bring the tradition of Nordic skiing to the younger generation. 

Throughout the years the club has experiences for local youth interested in the Nordic Skiing experience and tradition. The Snowflake Nordic ski club started in 2010, under the direction of Dan Goltz.   The initial group consisted of 43 skiers increasing to 70 participants over the early years.  The club began as a recreational program, hosting fun races and ski outings primarily for club members.  The Nordic Club exists as a branch of the Snowflake Ski Club, which has a long history of developing local jumpers and hosting international jumpers.  The club loaned us money to purchase our initial fleet of Nordic ski gear.  Through the years the club has met at multiple locations including the Westby Rod and Gun Club, Viroqua Hills Golf Course, Viroqua VFW, Prairie Wind, and presently meeting at Timber Coulee.   The Pandemic years led to a greatly reduced program with fewer outings.   

In 2023 we re-vamped the program skiers who want to tran regularly and travel to compete.  The Club joined the Wisconsin Nordic Ski League in an effort to assist our local skiers in competing on the state and regional level.   The goal is for skiers to develop proficient skating and classical technique and to build cardiovascular fitness while developing a love for the sport.   

Past coaches include:  Michelle Drucker, Jerry McIntire, Nick Wroblewski, Bjorn Bergman, Bryn Hawklove, Jen Bjorkman, Douglas Hurth, Chris and Heidi Jackson, James Gimurtu, Anna Bookstrom, Bill Humphrey, and Thom and Dominic Falter.
