Prairie Springs Skit Trails - Prairies Edge Nature Center - Cresco

Beautiful day for skiing today. Skiers I spoke with seemed happy with the conditions all things considered. Temperature at 3 PM was 30 degrees, so I don't think we will lose a lot of snow today or get an icy crust for tomorrow. Dry Creek Trail was much better after rolling a second time last night. All trails and loops should be skiable tomorrow (no diagonal track has been set because of snow depth) at least until 2 PM when temps are predicted to get quite warm. There are areas like Minears Field that are open and subject to a lot of direct sun and two inches of packed base will melt off in those areas quickly.
Hope you can get here and get some time in on the trails tomorrow! After Friday, all bets are off!  Skiers from several counties enjoyed the trails today.
