Despite plenty of snow for cross country skiing at the Crossroads at Big Creek, single-digit temperatures and gusty winds could stop this weekend's Ski for Free event.  Trails are currently open and experienced cross-country skiers will be allowed to use them.  Crossroads Executive Director Coggin Heeringa says, however, the preserve doesn't want to put infrequent skiers, especially children, at risk.

The best way to find out if Crossroads Ski for Free weekend is still on or canceled is to log on to their website crossroadsatbigcreek.com.
