WHITE FRIDAY
 Many Ohio Nordic skiers and Hilltoppers can be found taking advantage of the abundant snow at Wilderness Lodge east
of Erie, PA this weekend. With a base near two feet, skiing at the Lodge should be good for some time to come - with
great skiing Sunday if you hoped to ski this holiday weekend. Please note that Wilderness Lodge will
be closed for a few weeks during hunting season but will remain open for skiing on Sundays Only for the next few
weeks. With trackset trails and skating lanes, it's well worth the trip. www.thewildernesslodge.net
