Lime Creek Nature Center - Mason City

Received at least 2 inches of new snow today. Light snow is still falling. Limey is currently being groomed as I type. Goal this PM is to pack and rejuvenate the skate trails, and will lay down new classic tracks on the prairie skate loops. Trails should set up nice and be in great shape.
Kudos to all the folks of North Iowa Nordic (NIN) for working hard to get the prairie skate loops/trails back in skiable condition after the rains last weekend. For you North Iowans, or others that have traveled here to ski...check out the January 24, 2010 article in the Mason City Globe Gazette for more info on NIN.
FYI...NIN has been consistently grooming the main road of Pilot Knob State Park just East of Forest City, IA on Friday or Saturday evenings...in hopes of skiing the following AM before the snowmobiles tear it up. This is a beautiful place to ski when everything comes together.
