The sounds of families gliding through the snow at Sturgeon Bay’s Crossroads at Big Creek will get a boost this weekend as free equipment will be available to rent. The Ski For Free program is a gift to the community from the Friends of Crossroads and the Door County Silent Sports Alliance. Executive Director Coggin Heeringa says despite it being winter, there are still plenty of great things to see while skiing the trails.

The Ski for Free program takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and on Sundays from 1 to 3:30 p.m. For everybody heading to Crossroads at Big Creek on Saturday, they will also host a campfire event to celebrate the Winter Solstice beginning at 4 p.m.
