Skied at Blue Mounds St. Park this morning (sat) out in the meadow below the mound. Skiing was pretty good for striding. Near as I could tell, no one had skied at the park all week. There was more snow there with about 2" still on the ground. How much survived todays sunshine I don't know, but that loop is skiable with that little bit of snow. My guess is that the loop will be non-continuous after today, but with some good sections surviving. Skating looked better up on the top of the mound, wear something orange, there is still hunting in the park through next weekend. willi van haren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dirk Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [XC] Any skiing in the area?
