10 k skate race on the trails of the Willoughby State Forest
At 2000' in the Willoughby State Forest, this venue has not failed to provide the white stuff for a scheduled race in it's entire 18 year history!

1/2/2010 Skiers arrived to light snow, mid-20's and perfect skate conditions.
By the time the masters went off, the trail was holding up well but winds had picked up and the temp dropped to 19. Jessie Downs skiing for the U.S. Army, and Dorcas Wonsavage for Ford Sayre were winners.
