Rib Mountain Warming House
Image
A man on skis and holding ski poles is smiling at the camera in front of the stone warming house at Rib Mountain State Park. Skis and poles are propped on stands, and other skiers are taking a break. Two men are leaning against the building and two women are sitting on a wooden bench on the left. The warming house has two large stone chimneys.
