My young daughter referred to this place as an "Alpine Dream"! The trails here are immaculate and it is definitely a secret because we only ran into a handful of skiers during the three hours we were there. You ski past beautiful rocky streams and lots of birch trees, so very scenic. Beware that the beginner's trail is actually very... More

Very nice trails. Grooming done throughout the day when needed. Also, the downhill ski resort allows x-country skiers to use the one chairlift closest to the ski center and what a blast to ride up after skiing all day to take a final trip down the mountain!

We were very pleased with the well-groomed ski trails that provided several hours of skiing at the beginner and intermediate levels. We had our own equipment so rental prices were not an issue. Daily passes were available with a significant discount for seniors. A pleasant surprise was a small hut with hot chocolate and free snacks open on weekends that... More

I went for a morning of snowshoeing while my family hit the slopes. I nearly choked at the $25 trail fee, used to paying MUCH less at other resorts. I bit the bullet and paid, which got me a dent map and a push in the right direction. The trails were nicely groomed and well maintained. A bench along the... More

The skiing experience was terrific, however the price of pass and rental was exhorbitant. There are other locations nearby, just as nice, that charge significantly less.

In a way, I wish they advertised this place a little more. In another way, I'm glad they don't. We are new to xc skiing, but are finding that we like it better than regular skiing in many ways. With our kids being at the age where they are joining us in activities, it's a much more affordable option. But... More

With north facing trails and decent elevation, this area will have skiing when almost everyone else is closed...or should be. It is a winter wonderland with gorgeous mixed hardwood/evergreen forest and really fun terrain. Most trails have gentle pitch and climb as you leave the center...perfect for warming up as you head out.....a makes for a rewarding, fun and easy... More
