The Blaine County Recreation District is offering free skiing on all of its trails including those around Galena Lodge, the Harriman Trail, Prairie Creek, North Fork and Durrance loops, Lake Creek and Quigley Nordic. Billy’s Bridge is closed awaiting more snow, save for The Connector.
Use of the BCRD’s snowshoe trails will also be offered free that day.
