Lakeland Cross Country Ski Club

St. Paul Golf course cross country ski conditions are excellent on front 9 since they were groomed yesterday. The back 9 is fair to good. Some snow in the tracks but easily skiable. Special Note: If you are aware of persons using snow machines on the back 9 to access trails out of town please ask them to stay on the extreme north end of the course. Some of the x-country trails have been damaged from snow mobiles on ski trails #lakelandccsc #stpaulgolfcourse
