Prarie Springs - Cresco

CRESCO IS BACK! This is a seriously nice trail system with some seriously nice grooming. Just a hint of crust on the half inch of new snow which created some fast easy skiing. I used to ski here often years ago but had not recently. The trail has something for everyone. If you are looking for hills you can find them here. If you are looking to avoid the hills and just want a beautiful setting in which to ski, that is available as well. The descent through the woods on the north side of the trail that leads back to the parking lot is about as much fun as you can have on cross country skis. Unfortunately, a hiker with an especially aggressive tread on their boot had done more damage than I would have thought humanly possible to a good deal of the trail. Some things seem to be the same all over.
