Grooming Ski Trails

Nordic skiers Ben Renner (left), Will Schultz, Andrew Wasniewski and Evan Storbakken take snow off a trailer and spread it over an icy trail Wednesday at the Northland Arboretum. Brainerd’s Nordic ski team helped fill in icy stretches of the race course in preparation for Thursday’s Central Lakes Conference meet that was moved from St. Cloud to the arboretum due to lack of snow.
