About the Resort:

This is actually a part of a group of resorts and they offer some great deals between them all. If you are serious about cross country skiing, this is a great place to go. It's a bit smaller than some resorts, but they have done a great job working with the space that they have. This is also one of the few places to snoeshoe and among those that enjoy this sport, this resort has become very popular. This is a family friendly area and there are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy during your stay. The restaurant has some great food and overall, we found this to be a very nice resort.

What You Need to Know:

Dogs are not allowed at this particular resort, even though a few others in the area do allow that. There are a total of 12 miles of trails and we found them to be impeccably groomed. Some of the trails are quite long and more suitable for advanced skiers, but there are plenty of shorter tracks that will serve beginners well.

It is important to bring a few supplies with you whenever you cross country ski. There are not going to be any places along the trails to fuel up, so you'll want to bring everything you need with you. Since it is a smaller resort, you'll never be that far away from the main base, but it is still a good idea to bring the things that you may need.

Tips for Beginners:

There are quite a few short trails here that are very well suited for beginners or for snowshoers. We recommend taking advantage of lessons, especially if you have never tried this type of skiing before. There are some great deals available on lessons for people of all ages, and overall, their rates are some of the lowest we have found.

There are some great kids lessons available here as well, and they do offer special deals on reduced fees for rentals if you do get lessons, so it is well worth the money to take advantage of them.
