Forbush Corner Cross Country Ski Report – 03/03
What a great weekend. All 30k available and some of the best conditions of the season.
Fresh groom on the east side planned for today.
For note, this the last Monday that we will be open. We expect to be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Not sure what will have left after the heavy rains and warm temperatures predicted for this week, but we expect the man made snow trails Ridge, 240 loop and Linda’s Link will survive.
