- From the LaMoure County Museum
Facebook page administrator, Sonya Albertson: "Here is
what I know: the ski slope had a tow rope and a warming
house. Parts of the facility were built by a local man -
Norman Ellis. . . . The ski slope was located WSW of
LaMoure. Norm Ellis not only built the ski area but ran
it for many years. It was commissioned by the City of
LaMoure Park Board. "
