NORWAY — The Nordic trails at Roberts Farm Preserve are groomed and tracked for skate and classical skiing.
The Western Foothills Land Trust which owns the preserve and maintains the trails asks that skiers respect trail directions as marked. Snowshoers, dog walkers and fat bikers are not allowed on the ski trails but are welcomed on the 3.5k single-track woods trail, the Noyes Trail.
The warming hut at Roberts Farm will open for free access to on-site ski and snowshoe equipment from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Christmas Eve. Skiers are encouraged to wear Santa hats or antlers per custom.
During vacation week the hut will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The first ski biathlon of the season is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 31. The hut will be open to assist elegant New Year’s Eve skiers until 4 p.m.
