An extremely dedicated group of Nakkertok volunteers have invested countless hours this Fall to make snowmaking a reality at Nakkertok. Here is a fantastic video that captures the journey Nakkertok has taken from winning the Kraft Heinz Project Play contest to having a workable snowmaking system in place. Things have gone according to plan, and the early season ski loop is open!
