Skiing Delayed at Hatcher Pass: Training Takes Precedence

Cross-country skiers plans for early-season skiing at Independence Mine in Hatcher Pass are on hold due to a training exercise for snowplow and grader operators. The Gold Cord Road, which leads to the park, was cleared for the training, pushing back the opening of the groomed ski area. Low snowfall and the need for trained operators have delayed the use of Independence Mine for groomed skiing until at least mid-December. DNN | The Daily News Now!
