Ride and Glide Ski Club Helps Pay for Additional Lights in Lake Elmo Park Reserve

The Washington County Board of Commissioners accepted a $3,000 donation Oct. 23 from the Ride and Glide Ski Club, which will pay for additional light fixtures on the Lake Elmo Park Reserve ski trails.

The lights on the ski trails at Lake Elmo Park Reserve were first used during the 2011-2012 skiing season. The light fixtures provide adequate lighting for the majority of the system; however, additional lighting needs were discovered on some of the steeper downhill sections.

The Ride and Glide Ski Club raised funds to assist with trail improvement projects and made the donation to help pay for the costs of installing four additional light fixtures on the trails.
