Note about Big Creek Trails

[Des Moines Cross Country Ski Club]

Note from Tom at Big Creek regarding trail grooming:

"Unfortunately, no -- there was just enough snow to screw up the
roads. Snowcoverage at the park is currently only about an inch to
three inches dependingon wind exposure. I have not tried it yet, but
the disc golf course area of thetrail might be ok for skating if you
have some rock skis you don't mind riskinga ding or two on the bases.
If you go, watch out for the concrete tees. Otherwise, keep your
fingers crossed that we can build on this snow for next time."

You can find updates about the trails at http://lakesidenordic.home.mchsi.com.
Tom updates his page regularly, so it is always good to check it out
before making the haul out there.

We will have trail updates posted as soon as our website is up and
running.

PS - don't forget the Holiday Extravaganza this Saturday...hope to see
you all there!
