Something new
Found by Joe and Cassie Prochaska from Akron while snowshoeing across the road at the Lodge. Interesting ice formation… possibly Rabbit Ice???
We are OPEN!
The field has an unmanageable, unskiable patch of ice… The woods are covered and we are sending the groomers out. Calling it spring skiing..miles of wonderful white with some not so good in between.
