History:	Dave Brann: A few high school ski races were held on these trails. For one big regional invitational we had schools from as far away as Noorvik. Before the race we had a ski parade around the tack with school banners and most of the kids in school, down to first grade, on skis. I started the jr. high / high school ski team there in 1978. Bob McCauley and Dave Schroer were my mentors and a big help.
