We will not have the weekly spenst at Carroll hill. If the golf course is groomed, we will have a headlamp ski around at 6pm. Just a chance to get on snow and ski together. If we have grooming and decent snow, we will have a 10am ski session at the golf course on Saturday. Let's hope for a few more inches.
