Ferry County Rail Trail skiers make do
WINTER SPORTS -- The mountains are in need of new snow for skiers an the hopes of river runners.
But at the valley level north of Republic, Wash., there's boundless optimism for the Ferry County Rail Trail Partners Ski Day on Saturday, Jan. 14, at the old rail car loading area at the north end of Curlew. In the event of inadequate snow they plan on leading a walk along the Kettle River to the old railroad tunnel.
But for now, they're waxing poetic.
Here's the Curlew Trailhead snow report from noon today, Jan. 8th:
2 inches of new and someone already skied it today!
Fingers crossed for 2 more inches over next 48 hours...
