We Will Miss You

It has been quite some time since I have posted............my bad!
Anyway, we are still here and anxiously gearing up for the upcoming season........we are do for a real winter don't ya think?
I was informed of some very sad news yesterday. It was in regards to the closing of Kunkels Sports Center. I have known Craig, Todd, Jan and their family for many years and it truly was one of those businesses that treated you like family. You became a friend more than a customer. All of you will be missed.
It reflects a trend that has seen family operations quietly disappearing and going by the wayside. The availability of cheap ski equipment on the internet I am sure played a role. What we forget is that...........yes we can save a buck, but who will mount our bindings?..........who will fine tune those skis after grinding on those rails?
Your service and your smiles will be missed. Best wishes from all of us at Snowstar as you move forward..............
