There are miles of classic cross country trails on Laurel Mountain maintained by the Nordic Ski Patrol group along with DCNR.</div> <bR> <div> The trails wind through the woods and are easy to moderate.  Nowhere will you go careening down the side of a mountain but you may encounter a short steep section here and there - Novices can easily walk down.</div> <bR> <div> On Loop Trail you will encounter a sign to the downhill slopes.  A nice ski, but unfortunately the downhill lodge and slopes are not open this 2006-2007 season.  Hopefully the financial difficulties will be overcome and it may open next season.  </div> <bR> <div> High elevation, so there is usually good snow cover, but it takes a lot of snow here due to the rocky nature of the trails.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >                                                        </FONT> <A HREF="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf"><U>download</U></A><A HREF="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf"><U><B> Color Map </b></U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC3300" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://xskiguy.tripod.com/PWS.pdf"><U><B>(154 kb .pdf)</b></U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="08af7610.jpg" border=0 width="759" height="609" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
