Thanks for the good words!

Our family was fortunate enough to spend the New Year weekend at Ski Brule Resort. We had a great time! It was very family friendly and a great family experience.

Thank you for such a great time!

We have attached a picture of our boys (Patrick and Matthew) while they were snowboarding.

Dear Ski Brule Staff,

I just wanted to drop you a note to share this photo with Bob and also to let you know what a great experience I've had working with Brule and your ski instructors the last two years.

Last year I brought my niece to Brule on Dec. 26th as her Christmas present. Arlen was her instructor and he did a fantastic job. He was so encouraging. My niece felt really comfortable with him and learned a great deal. Afterward she kept telling her Mom how nice the instructor was.

This year I brought my niece again as well as her younger brother. I had to re-schedule twice, once due to a snowstorm and again due to a scheduling conflict. Your staff was extremely accommodating in helping me make those changes. Bob was our instructor (March 2nd) - he is such a professional. Like Arlen, he was great with the kids and they learned a ton, especially my nephew, this was his first time downhill skiing. At the end of the day Bob told my nephew to let him know when he was coming again so they could take a few runs together now that they are 'ski buddies'. My nephew just last weekend said he would let Bob know next year when we were there and he hoped to ski with him again!

Thanks for the memories and for helping me encourage the kids to be active and enjoy the outdoors. I look forward to many more trips to Brule with the family (I have 6 nieces and nephews total!)

Please share this note with Arlen and Bob and whoever is in charge of hiring them - they are both treasures!

Sincere thanks,
Stephanie

Hi,

I misplaced my survey form, but I wanted to give some comments.

Thanks to the whole staff at Ski Brule for a wonderful 3 day stay. From Tom in lodging, all the lift operators, Homestead staff, Allyson in the bar, the Bear's Den staff, the Nastar operator....They all went over and above the usual hospitality expected to make our short vacation a most pleasant experience. We will be back!

This little note is long overdue.

We were there last year for your learn to ski program and I just wanted to say how much we really appreciated the lessons with Bob (retired physical education teacher. My son is not very coordinated and he really was so patient and took extra time to work with him. We will never forget him. Thanks for having great instructors like Bob!

~Kathy

Thanks again Ski Brule for an amazing day!

Autumn had an amazing time not only skiing but with playing with the animals and jumping in the bounce house. She of course loved the entire staff, especially Lisa! See you this fall!

I mentioned that I would be emailing these photos to you of Apache.

I don't know of another ski hill in the Midwest that has a horse for people to get close to on their hill. So many people like horses (and dream of having a horse) that this is a nice exhibit to have there. No doubt many people (besides me) even miss seeing the deer that used to live there as well.

I enjoyed this weekend spent skiing at Ski Brule.

Best Regards,

Both boys won scholarships, which they will use towards Windell's Snowboarding Training Camp in Oregon this summer.

Congratulations, Guys!
