NordicSkiRacer Bill Kaltz takes us around the April 2 ski trail at Huron Meadows Metropark at about 9:30am. Freezing conditions made the trail firm and skiable early in the morning.

Adam Haberkorn has taken the pile of snow and groomed a 0.4k skate loop at Huron Meadows. (NOT an April Fools joke) The trail is open for skiing!

There is a very good possibility that we will have an on-snow ski event at Huron Meadows for the groomer appreciation party! The details are guarded at this point, but there is a snow harvest/storage/preservation procedure in the works.
