The listed coords are for the back nine trailhead. Ski down the trail with the driving range on your left and hole #18 on your right. Follow the curve under the red pines, and then cross the road. Once across, the trail splits, be sure to take the left fork and 100 feet ahead you'll come to a golf sign for hole #11. Look on the duct tape and record to the two letters that I've written in marker. Once recorded, continue skiing the trail and follow the curve to the left. Once around the curve, about 100 feet ahead, ski to the golf sign for hole #12 and record the two letters. Continue your journey down the trail. Look and listen carefully as I've seen many deer, coyote, and fox along the swampy area on the left. As you approach the end of the fairway the trail will head uphill slightly and will take you to hole #13. This golf sign is a little further off the trail then the other two. Nevertheless, you must ski to it and record the two letters. Once again, continue down the ski trail, under the red pines and along the golf course homes. At the end of the hole you will need to cross another road. Often times this road is snow covered so hopefully you won't have to remove your skis, either way, use caution. Once across, you will need to leave the groomed trail for about 150 feet and collect letters from the golf sign for hole #14. At this point you should have recorded a total of 8 letters. Unscramble these letters to gain a clue for the final prize. Get back on the groomed trail and ski. You should be within 300 feet of your prize. This is a family friendly 2 mile loop.
