WINTER SPORTS -- Saturday will be a better day to wax your cross-country skis than to use them.  

According to today's grooming report, there's been no grooming on the Mount Spokane nordic trails for a few days because the snow is ice and in some places "hard as a rock."

Snowshoer Warren D. Walker found the footing firm and the Vista House coated with frost on the mountain summit this week (above).
