Black River State Forest – All cross-country ski trails were open and in fair to good condition as of Jan. 19.

The Red Oak and Wildcat Trails were groomed Tuesday for skate skiing. Crews planned on grooming all of the trails but had some equipment issues. The rest of the trails were groomed last Friday for skate and classic. The equipment issue is a minor one and should be repaired quickly. Crews will then finish grooming all of the trails and they should be in good condition for the weekend.

The annual Candlelight Ski will be held on Feb. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m., starting at the Smrekar warming shelter. This event is sponsored annually by the Black River Forest Trail Foundation. A 1.5-mile trail will be lit with candles with food, refreshments, and a raffle all available.

All snowmobile and ATV trails were open and being groomed Tuesday. There are bare spots on the corners and a few areas may be icy. Forest officials will be watching the forecast closely for the weekend and may close them if expected temperatures are too high.

Snowshoeing is allowed any place in the state forest not designated for skiing or motorized recreation. Two recommended places include the five mile trail that runs from Pigeon Creek Campground to Smrekar Road, and the nature trail at Castle Mound Campground.
