LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
MON, APR 6
Hickory Hills: The Tidd tech was out this morning and scratched up a nice skate lane through the Sprint Loop, Lowgrade, Fast Tammy, Lighted Loop, and Bunny Hill. Plenty of coverage with a bit of gray ice in the Sprint and Lighted Loops. Lots of tree debris, so B skis are recommended. Should be at least a couple of more ski days this week. Get out and enjoy. There were only 2 of us out there this morning.
