About the Resort:
This is an incredible resort that spans more than 9000 acres. Whether you are brand new to cross country skiing or an old pro, this is probably the best place to go in the area. They’ve done a great job of making sure that all levels of cross skiers will have more than enough to do and there are also plenty of other activities here that the entire family can enjoy.
We loved the log cabins for lodging and they are all very well maintained and cozy. This is truly the spot for a relaxing weekend getaway and you won’t be too crowded either, since there is more than enough room for everyone here.
What You Need to Know:
Since many of these trails are remote, the management asks that all skiers bring their own food, water, and preparations. You’ll be pretty far from the base on many of these trails and it is imperative to make sure that you have everything you need with you. Advanced skiers that plan to stay awhile will be best served by using the cabins that can be found in many spots along the trail.
This is a serious place to cross country ski, but you’ll still have plenty of fun. The trails are immaculately groomed and there are frequent patrols to make sure that everyone is safe and well cared for.
Tips for Beginners:
The beginner trails can be found at the base of the mountain and there are also some great lessons that you can take advantage of throughout the day. We highly recommend going on one of the shorter trails until you are well versed in the art of cross country skiing since it can be tiring. Make sure to bring plenty of food with you and learn about packing while skiing to make it easier.
Even though many of these trails are geared towards more experienced cross country skiers we still found that this was a great place to learn and enjoy the art.
