Winter is Coming
ByIdyllwild Town Crier February 21, 2018 Reading Time: 3 minutes

By Marsha Kennedy Idyllwild Snow Group During the 2016-2017 winter, the behavior of many snow-play visitors was appalling. Pine Cove, Fern Valley and Idyllwild were defenseless against the hundreds who flocked here. They were here for a day of playing in the snow.
