Snow is covering the ground, which means now is the time to pull out your skis and enjoy the white wonderland that covers the ground near your McHenry new home. This weekend, March 1-2, 2013, Crystal Lake will host a cross-country candlelight ski for skiers of all ages to enjoy. This unique winter activity is a great time to enjoy a night with family and friends.

Skiers will have the opportunity to enjoy some cross-country fun both nights from 5-9 p.m. and will be held at The Hollows in Cary. Unique to this night event, trails will only be lit by candlelight. Participants are asked to bring their own skis and invited to enjoy refreshments afterwards around a campfire. Every level of skier from beginner to advanced is invited to attend this family-friendly event.

In addition to the candlelight skis, cross-country skiing is available during the day on over 40 miles of trails throughout McHenry County Conversation District sites. For those looking for more snow activities, snowmobiling is available on trails in Glacial Park and along the Prairie Trail.
