Candle Light Ski

Trails are provided for either hiking or skiing.  In the event of no snow the show still goes on with candle light hiking!  About 2 miles of skiing and 1 mile of hiking is the usual plan.  In 2006, the Friends provided hot cocoa, hot cider, a warm toasty campfire and marshmallows of course.

The only cost for the event is a daily or annual park sticker which could be purchased upon arrival at the park.  Trail passes are waived the night of the event.

The Friends were proud to once again provide a candle light ski and hike on Blue Mound.
