WINTER SPORTS -- The Panhandle Nordic Club's annual Best Hand Ski and Snowshoe fund-raising event will go as scheduled on Saturday regardless of the snow conditions at Fourth of July Pass.

Current conditions are NOT for skis or snowshoes, the club reports.  Expect ice and maybe some mud.

CLEATS ARE ADVISED.  Unless a miracle provides some snow.

But the cause is good. The club maintains the facilities and coordinates the grooming for the trails at the pass.
