High school and community skiers now have a new cross country trail in Sartell thanks to a joint effort by the school district, Nordic Ski Club of Central Minnesota and the city of Sartell.
The trail officially opened Nov. 18 after a summer of clearing brush and fall snow-making on the 1/2K trail between the the old Sartell high school and soccer fields.

High school skiers try out the trail after the ribbon cutting Nov. 18.
