Nature finally comes to the rescue for Thanksgiving! Or at least somewhat… Snow varied in East Grand from 4-7 inches and more in some places. It is enough to slide on, I just hope you have your rock skies ready to go. Rock skis are specifically for conditions when...
Despite these current spring temperatures, more snow will be hitting us sooner than later. All Nordic areas will be operating a bit differently in response to both State and County levels of Covid19. Since our Annual Nordic Ski Swap was cancelled, please check out...
