Cross country skiing and downhill sledding are closer to starting for the season at some state parks in Door County. This week's winter weather left up to eight inches of snow around Door County with more expected by New Year's Day. That's drawing interest from skiers and families looking for winter fun. Peninsula State Park Superintendent Eric Hyde believes cross-country trails near Fish Creek will be ready by the weekend, though the sledding hill may need a bit more snowfall before opening.
No grooming is happening, however, for cross-country ski trails at Potawatomi State Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park near Sturgeon Bay. While the trails could open soon, Superintendent Erin Brown-Stender reminds visitors some trails will be closed due to ongoing logging operations.
