2023 Cross Country Ski & Snowshoe Rental

​Ski rentals now available. Trails are packed and classic track is set 
We need at least 6-8 inches of snow in order to groom our trails. Please feel free to come out with your own skis as long as we have snow! We do not require a MN Ski Pass. 
Check trail conditions before you ski! We will update trail conditions throughout the winter on our SkinnySki page.
1/30 afternoon: Snow condition is good, but snow base is sort of thin. Trails have been re-groomed from the weekend and track has been laid for classic skiing. ​

THANK YOU to Belita Schindler for the generous donation, in memory of Dr. Richard Schindler, of $5.00 for each child’s rental during this winter ski season, which reduces the rental fee for children to $1.00 each.

Please be mindful of walking on trails during our busy skiing season. Please walk all the way to the sides of the trial. The larger groomed/packed section is for skate skiers, not for walking, please do not walk down the center of the trail. ​
