SUPPORT CROSS COUNTRY SKIING AT BRAEMAR PARK WITH SNOWMAKING

Let's promote these types of facilities for our kids to keep them active and healthy. This is a sport they can do for their entire life.

This is a great use of public land that will benefit a large segment of the Edina population. We have a history in Edina of making far-sighted decisions that have made this a great place to live - let's continue making our city great.

This is a wonderful idea and use of that land. I support it.

Please pass this as a skier myself it would be great to ski locally... What a fabulous opportunity for our local high school kids who didn't get to ski much last year due to no snow and limited space at other parks. If this were your passion you wouldn't hesitate.

I am for it

I would love to see cross country ski trails at Braemar. Our family would enjoy using the trails throughout the year.

Hundreds of kids in Edina enjoy cross country skiing during the winter months, and many train during the summer just to prepare for the winter season. This is a life-long sport that parents can enjoy with their children and continue to enjoy into their older years. Help us promote a healthy life style for our community by supporting a cross country ski trail at Braemar Park.

Please approve the cross country ski trails with snow making capabilities!!!

This would be a great way to support the EHS Nordic ski teams who are losing their trails due to the new construction at EHS. It also would support our citizen skiers and utilize our parks on a year round basis.

Snow making here would get a lot of use and would be a great bonus to the community and a big support to a healthy life-style; I would definitely ski there.

While that may be true, it will be cold enough to make snow. Fan driven snowmaking is the most energy efficient.

Already is one: Off-Leash AreasThe off-leash areas (OLA) are a great place to let your dog run off some of his or her energy and socialize with other dogs.

City ordinance also requires you to carry a device or equipment to clean up after your pet. At a minimum, you must carry at least two bags for this purpose.

build it and they will come

It will get used :)

Promoting and supporting healthy activities for the community should be a priority for the leaders of all cities. If not you, who? If not now, when?

This is a resource that will be used beyond what the numbers people will initially think possible.

Snowmaking is needed everywhere, especially after what we've seen the last two years. As an skier I would love to see as much snowmaking in the cities as possible.

skiing is good.

There is a great need in the West Metro for consistent snow on our trails.

Thank you for advancing Cross-Country skiing across the metro! We would love more snow in Edina.
