Early October Snow in JH – Sunday Nordic Surprise
String Lake is well known for its summer activities; kayaking, hiking, SUPs, families gathering on the lake shore to name a few. However, this past weekend’s storm gave the Nordic enthusiasts a peek into the snowy terrain it has to offer.
Great skiing was had along the lake shore & horse trails. 12″-14 inches of snow made for a chilly but perfect day. Trees insulated us from wind and provided a few surprise drifts. Although we brought out our older “early season rock skis”, there was enough base where nary a rock, log or stump greeted our bases. -George D.
Thanks George for our first Field Report of the season!
