Friday night the annual kick off event for the Hibbing Winter Frolic will take place! This year's luminary ski was of course in question because of the lack of snow. However the recent snowfalls have given us just enough to ski the Black Forest Loop at Carey Lake. The evening is expected to be mild, so bring the family and come out for a bon fire, cookies and cider. Skiing gets underway at 6 p.m. along the lit ski trail, beginning at the first parking area. Below is a current snapshot of the Carey Lake ski trails. Be aware the trail doesn't all look like this and there are some rough spots, and I won't be skiing with my best skis.

See you Friday night at 6!
