When you look out the window at Galena right now you would think it was mid winter out there. Then maybe you go out for a ski on the trails and you definitely think it is mid winter. The conditions right now are INCREDIBLE! With over 12 inches of new snow this past week we probably have a 36 inch base out on the trails. Take a look at some of our pictures from this week if you don't believe me. It is time to get out your skis, scrap your wax, book a Nordic lesson and get on up to Galena for a celebration of winter! See you up here.
