Skiers are some of the first allowed to explore. It can be a little confusing to get here, as there has been a lot of construction, including new road work being done on University Crescent.  But its also a very neat place to ski.\nDO NOT search “Southwood Circle” on Google Maps: it will lead you to a real estate office on campus.
