FROM Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing
What a way to end the season today! The “loop” groomed up perfect this morning for skating and classic after some additional snow yesterday and below freezing temps overnight. The flags have been lowered and put away, hopefully to be raised in November to start the 23/24 Season. Stay tuned. We will update periodically on what’s happening at the Corner during the off season.
