a note from nina
Best of Winter!
We have an excellent base of snow, warming temps and intermittent fresh snow to freshen everything up. This makes for the best skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and fat biking. Plus the big lake just sparkles as the sun rises higher in the sky.
Head over to the Trail Reports for updates on trail conditions.
See the complete list of Winter Activities and read about upcoming events.
Lodging specials being offered right now, too.
Have fun and be kind,
– Nina
