Make it part of your Christmas plans to get out and venture outdoors, it's a winter wonderland out there! While we just barely have enough snow to enjoy some winter recreation, it is beautiful out. This is a photo of the cross country ski trails at Carey Lake, Hibbing.

The trails were packed by the city groomer this week, so until we get more snow classic skiing would be very difficult. However, skate skiing right now is very good. Please remember groomed ski trails shouldn't be walked on. However there are plenty of hiking trails around that are not groomed and with the low snow a walk in the woods is pretty easy thing to do. Or dust off those snowshoes and go for a hike!
