What we're about
The Minnesota Ski Hawks is a non-profit Sports and Social Club. We sponsor events, trips and meet-up nights throughout the year. We’re based in the Twin Cities and currently have approximately 150 members made up of both singles and couples ranging in age from the mid-20’s all the way to the 60's..
The purpose of Minnesota Ski Hawks Meet Up Group is to have fun and to get to know prospective club members. We keep our paid club members of informed on upcoming trips, meetups and other events. While many events are open to non-members, our ski trips are for members of Ski Hawks and Minnesota Ski Council affiliated ski clubs only. Ski Hawk members are also eligible for discounts from our sponsors.

Meet at the parking area for the trail in Wayzata. This is just beyond the 6Smith parking lot (294 Grove Lane E, use this address to get you to the general area). Look for Yellow SkiHawk hats, etc. Kickstands up at 10:15 am and bike to our turnaround point, which is the The Winery at Sovereign Estate in Waconia (9950 N Shore Rd.) The winery has a beautiful patio with various wines by the glass to choose from, as well as cheeseboards and flatbreads from their bistro menu.
While this is a 30 mile round trip ride, don't let the distance intimidate you! The Dakota Rail Trail is pretty flat as we meander through the towns of Wayzata, Orono, Minnetonka Beach, Spring Park and St. Bonifacius, with plenty of opportunity to take a few water breaks along the way. After the ride we can check out the patio at 6Smith for some refreshments.
This is one of my favorite rides in the Twin Cities, please join me for this scenic ride!
