HANCOCK CROSS COUNTRY TRAILS |
|
February 14, 2012 |
 |
It's nighttime in the woods, and a well lite tracked vehicle makes it's way methodically through the trees, pushing new snow with a blade in front, and custom grooming the trail left behind. Skiers await in the morning to traverse the newly groomed trails of the Hancock Maasto Hiihto/Churning Rapids Cross Country Ski Trail System.

The drag is used to both level the trail, and set in the skier tracks at the proper depth and spacing. |
