The Kincardine Cross Country Ski Club held their first Loppet of the 2013 season on Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Stoney Island Conservation Area trail system. The event drew about 40 skiers of all ages for some fun in the snow with John Welwood winning the men’s side, and Sally Tvet taking home the ladies’ title. The recent snowfall was welcomed with open arms by many of the club members, who have been busy preparing the trails for skiers for the past few weeks.. (JOHN F. ADAMS/KINCARDINE NEWS FREELANCE)
