The thermometer looks to be heading in the wrong direction for winter activities with temperatures above 50 degrees tomorrow, (Wed., Dec. 15) and a forecast of rain. Odds are, the snow we received last week won’t be around for much longer. In an effort to preserve the existing snow pack as much as we can on the popular cross country ski trails at Woodland Trails Regional Park, the entire park and the Great Northern Trail will be closed effective 7:00 p.m. tonight, Tues., Dec. 14 through 7:00 a.m. on Thurs., Dec, 16.
By keeping park users off of the trails during the unseasonable weather, city staff and trail volunteers hope some base snowpack will be preserved for top notch ski trails throughout the winter.
